Its not 2025 delegates to win it's 1869
The national convention has 4049 delegate positions.
But this year Florida's 185 and Michigan's 128 are supposed not to be seated, which brings the total number of delegates down to 3736. 1869 delegates would give a candidate a simple majority.

2. AS I read it 2025 is the number with all the delegates seated.
If FL and MI are not going to be seated, then there are 313 less delegates in total, and 1869 will do it.

3. Ravy is right...
The 2025 is the figure WITHOUT Michigan and Florida.
