A new candidate on stage

Bloomberg will be on stage for the first time since jumping into the presidential race in late November.

The billionaire, who is opting out of competing in the first four early states, will likely take the bulk of attacks from the other candidates on stage. Bloomberg is quickly rising in national and some state polling after pumping millions of his own money into his campaign.

Several weeks ago, candidates quickly criticized the Democratic National Committee’s decision to do away with a donor requirement for the Nevada debate. In the last debate in New Hampshire, candidates had to reach a 225,000 donor threshold, with at least 1,000 donors coming from at least 20 different states.

Bloomberg is not accepting any donations, and the new rule for the Wednesday night debate opened the door for the former mayor to join.
