Iowa Democrats to release results of 2024 presidential caucuses tonight

Washington — Iowa is among the states where results are set to roll in on Super Tuesday. But the nominating contest will happen with little fanfare, after Democrats ditched the usual grandeur of the first-in-the nation contest and opted for a no-frills process instead. 

Although Iowa Republicans this cycle hung on to the long-held caucusing tradition in the Hawkeye State, holding their contest on Jan. 15, Democrats met that day only to conduct party business. Democrats in the state received presidential preference cards by mail, with the results of the uncompetitive primary to be announced on Tuesday. 

Since January, Iowa Democrats have been returning their preference cards, which function as ballots, with the results set to be released by the party on Tuesday evening. President Biden is expected to sail to an easy victory in the state, with long-shot candidates Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota and author Marianne Williamson as his competitors.
