Marianne Williamson's campaign says she's qualified for the first 2020 Democratic debate

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/marianne-williamson-shes-qualified-2020-democratic-debate/story?id=62814044

Spiritual-guru, best-selling author and 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson has reached the threshold needed to qualify for the Democratic debates set for late June, according to her campaign.

“What I’m trying to do is tell the truth as fiercely and as accurately as I know it,” Williamson told ABC News recently of her candidacy.

As the Democratic field widens to 21 presidential candidates following Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet’s 2020 announcement last Thursday, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is preparing to take on 20 candidates to the debate, establishing tiebreakers to choose the final pick. If those who qualify surpasses 20 contenders, candidates who meet both polling and donor requirements will qualify first, followed by candidates with the highest polling, followed by candidates with the most unique donors. Each debate will include no more than 10 candidates chosen at random from a pool of those who qualify.

As of now, presidential hopefuls like Bennet, Mayor Wayne Messam, Rep. Seth Moulton are still in jeopardy of not making the cut.

She is on our team. She talked about how far too many of her colleagues don’t vote. She encouraged them to get out and vote. Told them it was their responsibility and they had to accept compromise. I loved it.

I listen and often watch Thom Hartmann’s show, he really likes her quite a bit. Amazing she and that crass creep Trump are the same species.
