Did this pretty quickly so don't take as gospel, but it looks to me like 10 candidates have already qualified for the debates under the DNC's *polls* criteria: Biden, Sanders, Harris, O'Rourke, Warren, Booker, Klobuchar, Castro, Gillibrand, Buttigieg.
Gabbard, Inslee, Hickenlooper and Brown (if he were to resurrect his bid for some reason) already have 2 of the 3 polls they need. The fundraising threshold is probably the *easier* way to qualify (65K donors) but polls is pretty easy too. bit.ly/2UN80FJ
Yang claims he's met the donor threshold, and we have no reason to doubt him. (Although, it will be a while before the DNC officially verifies anything.)
We are not sure that any other candidates that *didn't* meet the polling threshold *have* met the donor one—but are checking.

Jay Inslee has also qualified for the debates based on this morning's Fox News poll. That makes 12 qualified candidates: Biden, Sanders, Harris, O'Rourke, Booker, Klobuchar, Castro, Gillibrand, Buttigieg, Inslee (polls), Yang (fundraising).
