DNC Will Announce Debate Qualifications This Week

DNC Chairman Tom Perez says he’ll announce details of the first two presidential primary debates by the end of the week, the AP reports.

“Perez says he plans to include a grassroots fundraising metric as part of the qualifying threshold. He wants that to make the debate more inclusive than just using polling.”

“The first two debates are slated for June and July. They’ll be the first two of six debates in 2019, with at least six more to follow in 2020.”
