So @CNN is interviewing a precinct official who has been on hold for an hour. Then: boom, the party official asks the guy for his results. "This is a real coincidence, Wolf, I just got off hold," he says, live.Wolf asks to listen, he says yes.*beat*"They hung up on me."— Josh Wingrove (@josh_wingrove) February 4, 2020

One other thought: there was a relatively fine line between Iowa scenarios that are quite good for Sanders, and those that are fairly poor for him given expectations for how well he'd do, and both of those are still in play based on what we seemingly know so far.— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) February 4, 2020

The @PeteButtigieg campaign just released its internal results (covering 75% of precincts) showing Buttigieg doing the same as was reported by the @BernieSanders internal numbers. Meaning it’s clear that Bernie Sanders won the #IowaCaucus. https://t.co/aX4LW3ya8H— Brent Welder (@BrentWelder) February 4, 2020

Love that the discourse immediately became all about warning Left Twitter not to spread conspiracy theories and misinformation while the Biden campaign leaked a memo calling the eventual results into question and Pete literally went on TV and declared himself the winner— Chase Woodruff (@dcwoodruff) February 4, 2020

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden_1988_presidential_campaign
Youth activismBefore and during the campaign, Biden had a tendency to invent a past as a marcher in the Civil Rights Movement. For instance, in a February 1987 speech in New Hampshire, he said, "When I marched in the civil rights movement, I did not march with a 12-point program. I marched with tens of thousands of others to change attitudes. And we changed attitudes."[12] Statements of this nature had been made by Biden going back to at least 1983.[27] Such statements concerned campaign advisors, who knew they did not represent a truthful recollection of Biden's past; Biden said he understood, but continued to make them.[12]
Following the Kinnock and academic revelations, reporters pressed Biden on the matter.[27] Biden acknowledged that his activities were actually limited to one summer job incident, where while working as a lifeguard at a swimming pool, he learned of racial inequality issues and joined black lifeguards in establishing a picket line around a local movie theater that had a segregation policy.[1] Biden said, "The civil-rights movement was an awakening for me, not as a consequence of my participation but as a consequence of my being made aware of what was happening."[1] Speaking to reporters, he objected to this line of questions as a whole, saying, "I find y'all going back and saying, 'Well, where were you, Senator Biden, at the time?' – you know, I think it's bizarre. ... Other people marched. I ran for office."[12]
WithdrawalOn September 17, 1987, Biden held a press conference at the United States Capitol in an attempt to address all these questions and put the issues behind him.[27] He acknowledged that "I've done some dumb things, and I'll do dumb things again."[12] But he vowed to stay in the race regardless.[12]
