The fight for California’s massive 172 delegates will be fought largely in each of the state’s 54 Congressional Districts.

172 is an outsized number relative to the number of Republicans left in California.

172 is an outsized number relative to the number of Republicans left in California.

Every state gets at least 3 delegates per CD plus 3 RNC delegates, plus additional delegates for other factors. California doesn't get any "bonus" delegates, but because we have so many congressional districts, we have the most delegates.
