Andrew Yang’s unconventional White House bid got a big boost Thursday — he qualified for the next Democratic debate in Houston.

The bar to make the third debate next month among the 20-plus potential 2020 presidential candidates was set higher by the Democratic National Committee, and Yang made the cut by reaching the 2 percent threshold in four qualifying polls, according to his campaign.

“The country heard my message and is ready to talk about real solutions to gun violence, the new realities of the American economy, and how we measure our health and success as a nation,” Yang said in a statement Thursday. “I’m excited to have those conversations in Houston and throughout the 2020 election.”

Yang, whose signature campaign promise is giving every adult $1,000 a month, already hit the 130,000 grassroots donor mark thanks to his supporters, known as the “Yang Gang.”

The DNC — which has drawn criticism for the debate process, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders calling the process “demeaning” — is set to narrow the field by raising the bar for the third debate to 2 percent in polls, up from 1 percent for the first two debates.

A Monmouth University Poll in Iowa released Thursday gave Yang the fourth qualifying poll, his campaign said.

Candidates have until Aug. 28 to make the threshold.

Yang is the ninth candidate to qualify for the Sept. 12 debates. The others are Joe Biden, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sanders, California Sen. Kamala Harris, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former El Paso Congressman Beto O’Rourke.

At the last debate in Detroit, Yang made a crowd-pleasing quip in his opening remarks on how he’d change the direction of country.

“We need to do the opposite of much of what we’re doing right now, and the opposite of Donald Trump is an Asian man who likes math,” Yang said to laughs.

The entrepreneur from upstate Schenectady, NY, has made workers displaced by technology the cornerstone of his pitch for the $1,000-a-month stipend. Automation of jobs is the main challenge facing the US economy, Yang says.

“I said in the last debate that American politics had turned into a reality show that produced a reality show president,” Yang said in a statement Thursday.

“Solutions don’t come in 30 second sound bites and the American people are tired of leadership condensed into 280 characters.”

The debate, set for Sept. 12 and 13 (if necessary, depending on the size of the candidate field), will be hosted by ABC News along with Univision at Texas Southern University.
