DNC changes debate qualification rules that had kept some candidates out of debates, including several who have dropped out; the changes now allow a path for Mike Bloomberg to participate in the Feb. 19 debate in Las Vegas.
"The donor threshold was appropriate for the opening stages of the race, when candidates were building their organizations and there were no metrics available outside of polling to distinguish those making progress from those who weren't."The campaign of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders suggested the DNC was doing Bloomberg's bidding.
The threshold is a big step up from the one that will be used for next Friday's debate, between the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, which set the bar at only 5 percent support in four national polls. Bloomberg and Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, each have one qualifying poll, while the rest of the field has zero.
