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 between Jan. 1 and the two weeks before the debate or receive campaign contributions from at least 65,000 unique donors.
In addition, former Sen. Mike Gravel (D-Alaska) also has yet to reach the threshold, with a spokesperson for the campaign telling The Hill they were “a third of the way” there on donors and have been seeing increased support in polls.
Gravel announced a presidential campaign earlier this month saying his sole intention is to appear on the debate stage to push the Democratic field more to the left, not to win the nomination.
