Gabbard reaches donor threshold to qualify for debate
WASHINGTON — Tulsi Gabbard says her 2020 presidential campaign reached the donor threshold to qualify for the Democratic debates that begin in June.
The U.S. congresswoman from Hawaii said in a video posted Wednesday night on Twitter that her campaign collected contributions from at least 65,000 donors, ensuring her participation in the first two Democratic debates.
Candidates can also reach the stage by receiving 1 percent support in three reputable national or early nominating state polls.
Gabbard is among at least 18 Democrats vying for the 2020 nomination.
