Per the NYT Tracker, there are already 12 declared major candidates (14 if you count Williamson and Yang): https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/us/politics/2020-presidential-candidates.html

How many will make it onto one of the first debate stages? The first Democratic debate is scheduled for June and if there are over 10 eligible candidates, it could take place over 2 nights. Supposedly there will be a cap of 10 per debate stage, for a maximum of 20 candidates on TV.

Will the Democrats surpass the magic number (17) of Republican candidates from last time around?

With Swalwell gone, Bullock's place in the second debate looks pretty secure, yes? Barring a surprise Gravelanche

With the latest NBC poll, it looks like Castro and Yang have gotten their second qualifying poll:

I too am a little frustrated that the DNC is raising its requirements sooooo slowly, but I think it's smart because then no one can realistically say that they're stifling the grassroots campaigns. 3% is still a pretty damn low bar, and any campaign that can't reach it at this point is completely unviable. I just hope they work their way up to 5% before Iowa so that the hopeless vanity projects don't split the vote.

Looking at the polling lately, this is likely to eliminate 4 candidates:

Klobuchar
Castro
Gabbard
Steyer

O'Rourke, Yang, and Booker will be teetering on the edge, while the top 5 will surely make it. I'm assuming all of them have met 165K donors or are very close.

It would be *really* nice to get it down to 8 or fewer candidates. 6 is my dream, but I think all three of the edge-teeterers will make it. I would've thought Booker would be out but he already has two polls!
