Jewish presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has narrowly lost the Iowa caucuses to Democratic Party frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
If Vermont Senator Sanders had won the caucuses, he would have become the first Jew - and the first non-Christian - to win a US presidential primary.
But on Tuesday morning, with one precinct left to report in the first primary ahead of the national election in November, Sen. Sanders had 49.6 per cent of the vote, with Mrs Clinton ahead on 49.9%.
The margin of victory was the smallest in the state’s history of Democratic caucuses.
