DNC announces Oct. 15 date for debate

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) announced Saturday it will hold its fourth presidential primary debate on Oct. 15 in Ohio. The DNC will hold a second night for the debate on Oct. 16 if more than 10 candidates qualify. The event’s specific location in the Buckeye State has yet to be announced.

Candidates will have to garner 130,000 unique donors and hit 2 percent in four DNC-approved polls to qualify for the debate. Those are the same thresholds for the debate slated for next month.

The 10 Democrats who have already hit the two thresholds for the September debate stage automatically qualify for the October event.

Candidates who fall short for the September event could still qualify for the October debate, with the deadline to hit the donor and polling marks falling two weeks before Oct. 15.
