The Democratic National Committee raised the stakes for the sixth 2020 presidential debate set to take place on Dec. 19 at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, Calif., Politico reports. Six candidates have qualified to appear on stage so far.
The big picture: The new polling requirements could endanger all but the top candidates as participants will have to gain support of 4% in at least four DNC-approved national or early-state polls.
Candidates can also qualify by hitting 6% in two approved early-state polls.
Contenders need at least 200,000 unique donors, with a minimum of 800 donors in 20 states.
The cutoff date to make the sixth debate is Dec. 12.

(11,495 posts)this race is far from over and a lot of people are still undecided. The debates give everyone a chance to show the public what they will do to help fix this country after trump is gone. It also lets voters see who can "really" stand up to trump.

(149,699 posts)They are very informative. They show the candidates under pressure, in public, relying on how able they are to answer quickly and thoroughly.
These debates show who can take the pressure which is part of being President.

(11,495 posts)The public needs to see all of our candidates stand up for what they believe, and as you said, we need to see how they do under pressure.
One thing for sure, the pressure they are under from other candidates will be nothing compared to what trump will do. If they can't stand the pressure now we need to know. I want someone who can win, take on trump, and take us forward, not take us back. I want someone who is a fighter and who will work for the people. We need a real change.
