Problem: a computer hiccup delayed the results, causing the fury of the campaign teams. Despite everything, two candidates are doing well: the youngest nomination contestant , Pete Buttigieg , 38, and the oldest, Bernie Sanders, 78.

Another lesson: the former Obama vice president, Joe Biden, made a poor performance. However, nothing is yet decided. There is still a long way to go to the nomination ... and the White House. All eyes are now on New Hampshire, where a caucus is being held on February 11, and Super Tuesday in early March.
