Texas Republicans pledged 56 more to push him beyond 655, though he warned of potential slippage and sought further pledges as Scranton gains reshaped the field with 44 delegates since Friday. The AP tally, based on pledges and conventions, lists uncommitted delegates and those bound to candidates, with Goldwater leading and Scranton making incremental gains ahead of the San Francisco convention.
