Here we go, folks. The Democratic National Committee’s first debate for its crowded field of 2020 candidates is finally upon us...The inaugural debate of this election cycle will be hosted by NBC News, MSNBC and Telemundo in Miami, Florida, over a two-night span, June 26-27.

[The article then lists the criteria which a candidate must meet to be included.]

Thus far, there are a bulk of candidates that are definitely going to be on the debate stage. They include, not in any particular order, former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Mayor of South Bend, Indiana Pete Buttigieg, Former HUD Secretary Julian Castro, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D, HI-2), former Texas Congressman Beto O’Rourke and businessman Andrew Yang.

The 11 safe candidates will likely be joined by the following contenders who just barely make either the polling or donor standards, provided that they do not plummet in the next month: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, John Delaney (D, MD-6), Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, Washington Governor Jay Inslee, Congressman Tim Ryan (D, OH-13), Congressman Eric Swalwell (D, CA-15) and author Marianne Williamson.

Other candidates with some name recognition, such as New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton, have not broken one percent in any major polls or reached the donor threshold, but could muster up the campaign strength in the next few weeks.

Got that? Everyone will get one question, have 30 seconds to answer, and then time will be up. It will be great.

Oh, goodie. My joy knows no bounds.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee says he's hit a fundraising threshold to qualify for the Democratic presidential debates slated to begin next month.

Inslee said while appearing at a climate rally in Las Vegas that he learned Friday morning he'd received donations from at least 65,000 people, earning him a spot on stage.
