The DNC is scrapping fundraising requirements for their Nevada debate. The move would allow Bloomberg, who isn't raising any money, to get on the debate stage by reaching certain polling numbers. Candidates can also qualify by getting a delegate from Iowa or New Hampshire (Bloomberg isn't on the ballot in those early states).
This was met with criticism from multiple campaigns, including Sanders and Steyer. Steyer knocked the DNC for accommodation Bloomberg but not form accommodating minority candidates who were struggling to meet the minimum number of unique donors required for the previous debates. Sanders blasted the DNC as saying this is the kind of move that comes off as rigging a primary.
Klobuchar welcomed Bloomberg, saying he should be on stage instead of just running ads. Let him actually speak to voters. Bloomberg has spent $188m since November (more than twice what Bernie spent in all of 2019) with $132m of it going into TV ads.
