Now, what is their rationale for giving Yang one, who failed to qualify for the last debate and has yet to qualify for the next debate?

And if it were just about polling numbers, Bloomberg is polling much better than Yang now.

He has more money than most of the field combined.

She met the established threshold for donors, just like Yang did.
She also met the established polling requirements, unlike Yang.
