Are the 31 counted toward the 1237 total?
It does in the ‘soft delegate’ count.
“Are the 31 counted toward the 1237 total?”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Here’s how I see it, much like most prognosticators at this point:
956 Committed to Trump
+ 40 IN
+ 1 NE
+ 34 WV
+ 12 OR
+ 17 WA
+100 CA
+ 51 NJ
+ 10 NM
There are also another 50-60 uncommitted delegates from other states and territories.
With near and increasing certainty, Trump will be in on the first ballot.
The likely math is getting overwhelming.
They’re assumed at the convention, but not part of the count.
Although, if you add them to most of the “expert” delegate projections for Trump he is over 1237.
