Whatever the final results show, Pete Buttigieg has made history in the Iowa caucuses.

The former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, on Monday night became the first openly gay candidate in American history to earn presidential primary delegates toward a major party's nomination process.

The force of the news was slightly diluted as the Iowa Democratic Party botched the release of its caucus results. Party officials cited problems with the app it used to report precinct results.

Buttigieg had a narrow lead in the delegate count with nearly 71% of precincts reporting as of 11 p.m. Tuesday.
