TomPerezResign trends as 2020 Democrats accuse DNC chair of changing rules for Michael Bloomberg's benefit
Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez is facing calls to resign amid accusations that a decision to relax the DNC's debate criteria was made as part of an effort to give former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg the chance to participate., Perez faced scrutiny over the DNC's announcement that it would no longer require 2020 Democratic presidential candidates to meet any donor requirements in order to participate in debates.

"Having Americans willing to invest in your campaign is a key sign of a successful campaign," he said."The people will win out in the end.""He could easily have gotten himself onto the stage with the donor requirements," the entrepreneur and 2020 hopeful said.
