Amy Klobuchar has officially qualified for fall debates.

I just received an email that last night Amy Klobuchar got her 130,000th donation and has now officially qualified for the fall debates.

I am so glad that she will be there. She will now start getting the attention she deserves.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I'm glad to hear that too! CaliforniaPeggy Aug 2019 #1

But has she met the polling criteria with 4 national polls with 2% or more? TexasTowelie Aug 2019 #2

Yes. madaboutharry Aug 2019 #3

Let's qualify this... brooklynite Aug 2019 #4

Klobuchar-Buttagieg or Warren-Buttagieg, either would be a dream ticket for me. Nt lostnfound Aug 2019 #5

Now announced on CNN and in the NYT. madaboutharry Aug 2019 #6

Eight is enough. crazytown Aug 2019 #7

No it's not, at least not this early. Bennet & Castro should also get in there. Bullock, too. mtnsnake Aug 2019 #8

why not have all 20 back again then? crazytown Aug 2019 #10

That's fine by me. Why rule almost anyone out this early? mtnsnake Aug 2019 #11

and contemplate separating Biden and Warren again? crazytown Aug 2019 #12

It's only Aug 2. There are still 8 months to go, right? Plenty of time for Warren vs Biden mtnsnake Aug 2019 #13

That's great news about Amy. She deserves to be in there as much as anyone. mtnsnake Aug 2019 #9

Castro also has 130,000 donations, but hasn't qualified because of the polling criteria.

She had the polling data already. She was slightly short of the 130,000, which she reached last night.

Candidates can say whatever they want; the DNC decides what the applicable polling results are.

From the NYT:

"Eight candidates have already met both qualification thresholds and are guaranteed a spot on stage. They are:

Former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey

Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind.

Senator Kamala Harris of California

Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota

Former Representative Beto O’Rourke of Texas

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts

Ms. Klobuchar’s campaign announced on Friday that she had exceeded the required number of donors in the days following the debate. She had already met the polling threshold."
