Michael Bloomberg may qualify for the Democrats’ Feb. 19 primary debate under new rules announced on Friday by the Democratic National Committee.
Although he has been rising in the polls, Bloomberg has not been able to participate in any of the debates since he announced his presidential bid because the rules required candidates to obtain a minimum number of donors. Bloomberg is self financing his campaign. The new qualification guidelines do not include a donor threshold. Rather, they require that candidates get at least one delegate out of the upcoming Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, or reach at least 10% in four national polls or 12% in two state polls.Bloomberg contributed more than $200 million to his campaign as of Dec. 31, according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission on Friday. His campaign spent $188 million during that period.
The next debate will take place on Feb. 7 in New Hampshire, sponsored by ABC News, WMUR-TV and Apple News. Bloomberg will not qualify for that event because the guidelines still include the donor threshold.
