Eric Swalwell qualifies for the Democratic debates
BY CHRIS MILLS RODRIGO - 04/30/19 10:32 AM EDT
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) qualified for the Democratic presidential debates Tuesday after polling at at least 1 percent in three polls recognized by the Democratic National Convention.
The California lawmaker, who launched his campaign earlier this month, got the support necessary to qualify in a CNNSRSS poll released early Tuesday.
That survey was also the third recognized poll in which Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) reached 1 percent, although she had already qualified by the number of unique donors.
To be eligible for the 12 debates planned in the 2020 cycle, candidates must receive support from at least 1 percent of respondents in three separate polls recognized by the Democratic National Committee or receive campaign contributions from at least 65,000 unique donors.
With Swalwell's qualification, four of the 21 2020 candidates have reportedly yet to meet either threshold.
