Here is Huffington Post’s list of who has qualified for the first Democratic debate, June 26 and 27, 2018, based on polls and number of donors:

Personally, I would like to hear as many great ideas and voices on that stage as possible, so I am one of those 65,000 donors for most of these amazing candidates. I see at least a couple on the list whom I already like but haven’t donated to, that need more individual donors. I will make sure to do that ASAP. I figure I can give one hour of wage to each of them to thank them for all they’re doing.
I encourage you to take a look and see if there is someone you would like to see on that first debate stage in June who could use some more donors. Your $5 can make a big difference for them.
Onward for making America think again.
***EDIT: Candidates only have to meet at least one of the two criteria. 1) 65,000 donors with at least 200 donors in 20 different states. OR 2) At least 1% in major polls.***
