These 10 Democratic presidential candidates officially made the next debate
The prayers of ABC News executives and the media at large have been answered: The next round of Democratic primary debates will be only one night.
The Democratic National Committee announced Thursday which Democratic presidential candidates had met the donor and polling thresholds for the ABC News-hosted September debates. There will officially only be one debate on Sept. 12 with 10 candidates on the stage, and their podium order will be announced later Thursday, ABC News said. Here's who made it:
- Former Vice President Joe Biden
- New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker
- South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg
- Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro
- California Sen. Kamala Harris
- Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar
- Former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke
- Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders
- Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren
- Tech Entrepreneur Andrew Yang
Candidates needed to amass 130,000 individual donors and hit at least two-percent support in four national or early primary state polls to make the debates. A few Democrats who wouldn't be making the stage dropped out prior to Wednesday's announcement, though another 10 are still in the running.
