Rep. Seth Moulton joined Gov, Jay Inslee and Gov. John Hickenlooper in dropping out of the 2020 race. With the much tighter requirements in place for the next debates, and the lure of political offices in their own state for Inslee and Hickenlooper, they saw the writing on the wall. That leaves us 18 major candidates (we’ll add Steyer to the list if he makes a debate), but 8 are in danger of not qualifying for the next debate. Ten candidates have qualified: Biden, Booker, Buttigieg, Castro, Harris, Klobuchar, O’Rourke, Sanders, Warren and Yang. Steyer needs one more poll > 2%, Gabbard 2, and Gillibrand 3 plus more donors. Williamson, Bennet, Bullock, De Blasio, Delaney and Ryan debate chances are likely done.
