Billionaire Tom Steyer is closing in on a spot in the next Democratic debates as Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) got a crucial poll, moving her closer to qualification as well.
Steyer, 62, a longtime liberal donor and activist, entered the race in early July and has not participated in a debate as of yet. The last debates were held by CNN in late July.
