The Democratic National Committee (DNC) axed one half of its debate qualifying requirements, paving the way for former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to appear on a debate stage for the first time.

Bloomberg, 77, announced his campaign in November 2019. He’s been self-funding his campaign, preventing him from meeting one of the thresholds to appear in debates.
