The two Democrats are seizing on Harris -- the only black woman running for president -- dropping out of the race to raise the question about what the prospect of this month's Democratic debate featuring only white candidates could mean for a party the not only prizes diversity, but relies on black voters.For the candidates, the push is both practical and political.
While we are legally required to have objective criteria for each debate, our qualifying criteria has stayed extremely low throughout this entire process. Nobody who has failed to reach 4% at this point in the race has gone on to be the nominee, and our debate criteria reflects that. In addition, we have made diversity a priority by requiring that every debate have women and people of color as moderators. We've never seen a political party take this many steps to be inclusive.
