The four candidates who have not qualified for the first Democratic primary debates are Steve Bullock, Mike Gravel, Wayne Messam and Seth Moulton, according to our analysis
become the 21st candidate to cross at least the polling threshold. The DNC had previously laid out tiebreaker rules if more than 20 candidates qualified. Candidates who “double qualified,” meeting both the polling and donation criteria, will take priority.
Currently, several candidates have a polling average of 1 percent — including Swalwell, Bennet, de Blasio and Delaney. If Bullock had qualified before the deadline, the tiebreakers would have gonethe DNC to resolve a tie between Bullock and Swalwell, who has gotten 1 percent in three polls, the bare minimum and the fewest of any of the qualified candidates.exclusion from the debate stage is an especially bitter pill for his campaign.
