The 20 qualifiers for the first 2020 Democratic primary debates have been announced
There will be ten candidates on each of two nights of debates in Miami later this month.

The candidates are, in alphabetical order: Michael Bennet, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Julián Castro, Bill de Blasio, John Delaney, Tulsi Gabbard, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, John Hickenlooper, Jay Inslee, Amy Klobuchar, Beto O’Rourke, Tim Ryan, Bernie Sanders, Eric Swalwell, Elizabeth Warren, Marianne Williamson and Andrew Yang.
Four announced candidates didn’t make the cut: Montana governor Steve Bullock; Congressman Seth Moulton of Massachusetts; former senator Mike Gravel; and Miramar, Florida mayor Wayne Messam. The only real controversy involved Bullock, who appeared to have qualified via a one percent showing in three polls until the DNC clarified that it would not accept open-ended polls, which included one crucial to Bullock’s credentials.
That way you don’t wind up with all the heavyweights on the stage the same night. Once the exact roster for each night is announced, debate prep will begin in earnest, and you can expect the candidates to start disappearing from the campaign trail intermittently in order to rehearse.
