Who Has Qualified for the September Democratic Presidential Primary Debate [View all]

https://time.com/5661886/who-qualified-september-democratic-debate/

The third Democratic presidential primary debate will take place on Thursday, Sept. 12, in Houston, Texas. ABC News and Univision will host the debate, which will be moderated by George Stephanopoulos, David Muir, Linsey Davis and Jorge Ramos. The DNC has said that if more than 10 candidates qualified, it would hold a a second debate on Sept. 13.

Effectively cutting out half of the field, the third debate will feature many of the primary’s front running facing each other on national television for the first time: Former Vice President Biden, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, California Sen. Kamala Harris and South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg will all appear on the stage together.

What is garbage about it? bitterross Aug 2019 #2

It doesn't really make sense to me that Michael Bennet should be out, pnwmom Aug 2019 #3

He met the criteria Trenzalore Aug 2019 #5

He's rich enough that he could spend money for lots of online ads to get the dollar donors. pnwmom Aug 2019 #6

Tom Steyer isn't on the debate stage and he is certainly richer Trenzalore Aug 2019 #7

Steyer started MUCH later (July 2019) than Yang (Nov. 2017) pnwmom Aug 2019 #8

Great leaders LEAD. They don't just follow public opinion polls. pnwmom Aug 2019 #28

I can tell you what Yang is running on. I can't tell you what Bennett is running on Recursion Aug 2019 #18

That's also because Yang has been running since November 2017. pnwmom Aug 2019 #20

What's the alternative? DrToast Aug 2019 #24

Good. That is enough candidates still_one Aug 2019 #4

Can a Candidate qualify for a later debate if they do not qualify for the September Debate? n/t MarcA Aug 2019 #15

I think I heard that they could, and that the standard for October was the same as September. n/t pnwmom Aug 2019 #16

Thank you for the answer. n/t MarcA Aug 2019 #29

Wow. This could make for all kinds of bizarre scenarios. n/t MarcA Aug 2019 #30
