Martin O’Malley had another solid performance here, though it didn’t provide the breakout the former Maryland governor’s campaign has long been craving.

O’Malley tried to force his way into the conversation early, talking over moderator David Muir in an attempt to edge into the debate between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton over voter data. The former Maryland governor, who has been languishing in the polls, continued to try to snipe at both Sanders and Clinton from the left. He managed to draw a surprising punch down from Clinton, who slammed him over his fundraising from corporate donors during his tenure leading the Democratic Governors’ Association.

O’Malley did enough to seem relevant, despite a heavy reliance on anecdotes that occasionally induced groans. But with his campaign struggling to crack 5% in polls in early states and running low on money, relevance isn’t enough.
