Tom Perez talked about the debate schedule at lunch today...

He said there would prospectively be a third "the more the merrier" debate in addition to the two announced, and then the qualification requirements would be tightened.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

In addition to the nearly-20 announced major candidates, there are 200+ others who aren't common knowledge.

They have to draw a line somewhere.

"As of April 15, 2019, there are 671 candidates who filed to run, including:[60]

227 Democratic candidates"
