On Wednesday NBC News, MSNBC, and The Nevada Independent will host the 9th Democratic Presidential Primary Debate from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Wednesday’s debate live from the Paris Theater will feature a new face, former Mayor of New York Mike Bloomberg.
Bloomberg met the DNC’s mandating polling threshold this week, but is not eligible for the Nevada Caucuses held this Saturday.
Not appearing on the debate stage is businessman Tom Steyer.
The @DNC made a tremendous mistake in managing the debate qualification process. Requiring candidates to collect an arbitrary amount of contributors forced candidates of color from the race. (1/2)

Then, it eliminated this very provision to help Mike Bloomberg to reach the debate stage — someone who used his police force to target Black and brown communities. And now it effectively silences and disenfranchises voters of color by not polling in NV and SC. (2/2)

It's sad that there’s even occasion to have to say this in 2020, but: I applaud the 11th Circuit for ruling that Florida's poll tax is illegal. It's racist and discriminatory, and has no place in our country. https://t.co/B0PAWFmtuR

Sen. Bernie Sanders says that rival Democratic candidate Michael Bloomberg doesn't have "the right to buy this election," calling his strategy of skipping the early contests “a bit obscene.” #CNNTownHall https://t.co/vstyXlLncF pic.twitter.com/v16cWKLFKM
