"Congratulations, Dad! We love you!," he exclaimed as New York put Donald Trump over the top to clinch the GOP nomination.

UPDATE III: Alaska delegation challenges recorded delegate vote.


Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said that under rule 16-A-2—the bound vote gets reallocated to the only candidate that’s left running in some states. It only impacts a handful of delegations (no more than four at this convention) and the secretary is required to read the bound vote first, which is why it appeared there were differing totals for a few states. The delegate count for Alaska stands at 28 for Trump.
