The DNC announced changes this week for primary debates starting with the Feb. 19 debate in Las Vegas: It doubled the polling threshold but eliminated the individual donor requirement. Candidates who earn at least one delegate to the national convention in either Iowa or New Hampshire will also qualify for the Nevada debate.

The new criteria pave the way for Bloomberg to participate in debates. The self-funding candidate has refused to take donations.

Rivals like Sen. Bernie Sanders have argued the DNC changes will rig the system for billionaires. Yang, who has earned a spot at the February debate in New Hampshire, has pushed for the donor requirement to be eliminated for some time.

“The question is, whether this is a move that Mike's excited about it or whether Mike’s indifferent to or even negative toward,” Yang said Sunday.

“Are you excited about debating him?” “This Week” host George Stephanopoulos asked.

“I’m excited. I’m thrilled that I’ll be back on the debate stage next week in New Hampshire. And we plan to be on the debate stage the entire time. So, I expect to see Mike on the stage in Nevada.”
