based on their model, but they haven't adjusted that since first doing the model. It doesn't address the percentage of delegates from here on out that he needs to win the nomination. The NYTimes has a delegate tracker that does that, but they haven't updated the Democratic side for the 3/22 results. As of 3/15, he needed 62% of earned delegates to reach half of all those earned delegates to be allotted. But even that wouldn't be enough for nomination because the requirement is 2383, which requires super delegates as well as earned delegates.
