Admit it, John Harris of Politico: You didn’t know that the shutdown would also cost lives

Meanwhile, Tom Perez, chairman of the Democratic National Committee  called for a “recanvass”  of the results of the Iowa caucuses. Party chairman Perez declared ”Enough is enough” and called for this results to assure public confidence in the results. The latest release of the results from the Iowa Democratic Party had Mayor Pete Buttigieg leads Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by two state delegate equivalents out of 2,152 counted.
