New DNC debate qualifications may spell doom for O’Rourke, Castro

The two Texas Democrats running for president in 2020 may have trouble qualifying for the November debate. 

The Democratic National Committee on Monday released the latest rules for qualification for the debates, and it doesn’t look good for Beto O’Rourke or Julian Castro. 

The new rules raise the required thresholds for polling and donors, and are likely to further narrow the field from the ten candidates who participated in last month’s debate in Houston. 

O’Rourke and Castro are both struggling in the low single digits.  The date of the November debate in Ohio hasn’t been announced.
