Here's who has qualified for the Democratic primary debates

In announcing the new debate rules, the DNC set two potential qualification requirements for the field:

• Achieve at least 1% support in three polls from an approved list of pollsters
• Receive campaign contributions from 65,000 unique donors, including 200 donors each from 20 different states

In the event that more than 20 candidates met at least one of those thresholds, the DNC said cuts would be made prioritizing candidates who met both thresholds, first based on average performance in qualifying polls, then, if a further tiebreaker is needed, by number of unique donors.

Last week, Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet entered the White House race, and both New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock are expected to announce whether they will run for president in the coming weeks. If de Blasio and Bullock join the race, there would be 23 Democratic candidates running for president, meaning at least 3 wouldn't make the debate stage.

As of May 9, 11 declared candidates say they have hit the 65,000 unique donor threshold, while 17 have hit the polling threshold (that includes the 11 who met the fundraising requirement). Six candidates have hit the polling threshold without hitting the fundraising threshold.
