Qualified: The DNC said last week that those who have 2% in four DNC-approved national polls and 130,000 unique donors (including 400 donors per state from 20 states) will qualify. The polls to qualify must be released between June 28 and Oct. 1 (by 11:59 p.m.).

Candidates: The following candidates have qualified for the debate so far:

  • Former Vice President Joe Biden
  • New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker
  • South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg
  • Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro
  • California Sen. Kamala Harris
  • Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar
  • Former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke
  • Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders
  • Businessman Tom Steyer
  • Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren
  • Businessman Andrew Yang

According to The New York Times, two candidates have the 130,000 donor threshold but need better polling numbers:

  • Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (who needs two more polls)
  • Marianne Williamson, a self-help author (needs three more polls)

These seven presidential candidates don’t meet either threshold:

  • Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet
  • Montana Gov. Steve Bullock
  • New York Mayor Bill de Blasio
  • Former Maryland Rep. John Delaney
  • Miramar, Fla., Mayor Wayne Messam
  • Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan
  • Former Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Sestak
