2-So far, 14 have met both standards, including Biden, Sanders, Buttigieg, Warren, Harris, Booker, Gillibrand, Klobuchar, O’Rourke, Castro, Gabbard, Inslee, Yang and Williamson.

3-"They’ll likely be guaranteed a spot on the stage and could be joined by six others who have met just the polling threshold: Bennet, Hickenlooper, former Rep. John Delaney (Md.), New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, Rep. Tim Ryan (Ohio) and Rep. Eric Swalwell (Calif.)."

4-"That leaves Rep. Seth Moulton (Mass.), Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, Miramar, Fla., Mayor Wayne Messam and former Sen. Mike Gravel (Alaska) on the outside looking in, unless they meet the polling or fundraising thresholds by the end of the day on Wednesday."

5-" the DNC is committed to keeping the debate stage at only 20 contenders. That means that if 21 people qualify, tiebreakers will be implemented, potentially bumping someone off the stage. Priority will go first to those who meet both the fundraising and the polling criteria.

6-"After that, the DNC will rank the contenders by polling average to determine the final spots, with the final tiebreaker going to the candidates with the most individual donors." ~The Hill
