The problem with having a "needed" column is that after Saturday the Magic Number may not be 2025. So until the Rules and Bylaws committee meets we do not know what the actual status of the race is.

that does what? increase the count by about 190.

"although it did note a loophole that would allow her to carry the challenge to the first day of the Democratic National Convention in late August."

But, hey, this is Hillary Clinton we're talking about. Certainly she will graciously step aside rather than desperately cling to failed hopes and dreams in an effort to overcome the shame brought upon her by her husband's predilection for fucking other women.

I mean, she's not a crazy fucking bitch.
