LIVE BLOG: Trump Wins GOP Nomination

update

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is no longer presumptive. He IS the nominee, thanks to his home state of New York that pushed him over 1, 237 delegate threshold.

Just after the big win, a bit of chaos. House Speaker Paul Ryan was dissed by the Alaska delegation:

Looks like the delegation from Alaska is staging a revolt. After House Speaker Paul Ryan asked the delegation to record the vote, they contested it seems. They appear to want to recount the Alaska vote.

TRUMP WINS!

He is now the Republican presidential nominee. The state by state roll call gave him well over the magic number of 1,237 delegates.

And his kids are happy about it:
