Ojeda out
Ojeda’s the first candidate who was actually in, to drop:
Former West Virginia State Sen. Richard Ojeda ended his long-shot presidential bid on Friday. A leader of the state’s teachers strikes last year, Ojeda concluded that the campaign ultimately wasn’t winnable and told his supporters that he could no longer ask people to contribute money to a cause he thought was lost.
Ojeda would have been an interesting test case for the debate cutoff, but no longer. We now have 8 candidates, with 21 still to hear from.
Harris and Buttigieg join 2020 race
Sen. Kamala Harris and Mayor Pete Buttigieg both announced they were running for the Democratic presidential nomination. That gives us 9 candidates already, with 21 still to hear from.
Buttiegieg will be interesting to watch, to see if makes the debate cutoff. If the bar is set low, there could be 20-25 candidates to fit into the two nights.
Definitely running:

Milwaukee gets crucial credit line for 2020 convention bid
Milwaukee checked off an important box in their bid to host the 2020 Democratic National Convention:
Organizers of Milwaukee’s bid for the 2020 Democratic National Convention have cleared the last major hurdle in the city’s quest to host the event by lining up a third-party line of credit, Mayor Tom Barrett said Wednesday.
“I have secured a line of credit, which is guaranteed, that really meets the needs that have been brought to us,” Barrett said. “And I’m continuing to do more.”

2020 Convention Call
From our friends at DemRulz:
On December 21, 2018, the DNC issued 2020 Democratic National Convention documents, including the Call, Rules, and Regulations (see below). These documents were drafted over 90 hours of public meetings by the Rules and Bylaws Committee (RBC) and its excellent staff. The RBC carefully considered and implemented many of the recommendations of the Unity Reform Commission. The next step in the process is for each of the 57 “states” to draft their own Delegate Selection Plans, which are to be offered for public comment by April 3, 2019 and submitted to the RBC by May 3, 2019. The RBC must complete its work of approving or otherwise taking action on all plans by September 13, 2019.
