Nine Democratic presidential candidates have signed a letter to Democratic National Committee leaders urging the DNC to consider changing the debate qualifications for the January and February presidential primary debates
Washington Nine Democratic presidential candidates signed a letter to Democratic National Committee leaders on Saturday urging the DNC to consider changing the debate qualifications for the January and February presidential primary debates.
The candidates, seven of whom have qualified for next week's debate in Los Angeles, argue in the letter that the DNC's increasing thresholds have resulted in candidates being"prematurely cut out of the nominating contest." The candidates being excluded from the debate, the letter states,"are the ones who have helped make this year's primary field historically diverse." Entrepreneur Andrew Yang is the only person of color who qualified for next week's debate.
