[[Vermont]] senator and avowed [[socialist]] [[Bernie Sanders]] was the winner of the caucus, gaining a clear majority of available delegates, followed by [[Joe Biden]] and [[Pete Buttigieg]].
Although the caucus concluded on the afternoon of the 22nd, results were only slowly tabulated and released to the public; it was not until the 24th that all precincts were shown as reporting. Early on, however, the vote-counting clearly indicated a victory for Sanders, which the final numbers confirmed.
