will give the 10 Democratic candidates who qualified for the next debate slightly extra time to respond to questions than they were at the last event, and they will be able to make opening statements but not closing remarks.
ABC News also announced where the candidates will be standing on the stage. The order, from left to right, will be: Amy Klobuchar, Corey Booker, Pete Buttigieg, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Andrew Yang, Beto O’Rourke and Julian Castro. Candidates leading in the polls — Biden and Warren — were placed at the center, with the other candidates fanning out from that point based on their ranking.
Meanwhile, some of the candidates who didn’t make the field had to reckon with what the missed exposure will cost their campaigns. Kirsten Gillibrand dropped out of the race on Wednesday, as it became clear that she would not make the debate by the end-of-day deadline set for qualification. Candidates had to reach 2% in at least four national or early-state polls, and have at least 130,000 unique donors — stricter criteria than for the first two debates.
Other candidates were critical of the process. Tulsi Gabbard appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show on Wednesday to claim that “the whole process lacks transparency.” She complained that the Democratic National Committee has only recognized certain polls as valid in determining who qualifies.
