Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Andrew Yang qualifies for New Hampshire primary debate
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/26/andrew-yang-new-hampshire-primary-debate-104901Andrew Yang will be back on the debate stage.
After failing to qualify for a debate in Iowa earlier this month, Yang has earned a spot at the next Democratic primary debate, in New Hampshire on Feb. 7.
Yang is the seventh candidate to qualify for the debate which will be hosted by ABC News, WMUR-TV and Apple News joining Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, Tom Steyer and Elizabeth Warren, according to POLITICOs tracking of public polling and donor data.
To qualify, candidates need to hit 5 percent in four polls approved by the Democratic National Committee (or 7 percent in two polls in New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina) and receive donations from at least 225,000 individuals. Alternatively, candidates can automatically qualify by winning at least one pledged delegate to the Democratic convention out of the Iowa caucuses.
He hit that polling mark in two separate polls released Sunday, and has long cleared the donor mark.

(401 posts)2. Still too many folks on stage
We need to get down to four or fewer quickly.
I'm interested in the debates and I'm starting to find them tedious.
It's tough to track answers and stay with it.
The average semi-interested viewer is going to go searching for a Law & Order rerun.

I'm sure there are many who disagree that the debate should be limited to the top 3-4 candidates.
