Here's how the first 2020 Democratic presidential debates work:
For the Democrats running in the 2020 presidential contest, who often bump elbows on the campaign trail as they try to stand out among the core constituencies of the party, landing on the first debate stages of the cycle is crucial to breaking out from the pack before millions of voters.
The change, which follows past cycles in which both major political parties used polling alone to determine debaters, comes as Perez continues to smooth relations between the committee and liberal party factions that argue Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was unfairly disadvantaged during the 2016 primaries. The chairman previously stated that he wanted to ensure that every candidate is given a"fair shake" during the nomination process.
Bennet joined seven other contenders who qualified for the debates through only the polling threshold: A candidate's polling average is calculated by adding the top three polling results for each candidate and dividing by three, rounded to the nearest tenth of a percentage point. If there's a tie in the polling average between candidates "candidates who are initially tied for the final qualifying spots will be ranked according to the total number of qualifying polls" the candidates broke one percent in that the campaigns have submitted to the DNC, according to the rules.
One group will consist of candidates who have a polling average at or above 2%. A second group will include those candidates with a polling average below 2 percent. Both groups will then be randomly assigned to a debate stage on June 26 and 27, evenly dividing the candidates over the two-nights of debates in an effort to ensure that both nights feature well-known candidates. The selection process rules were first reported by Politico.
