Bloomberg Qualifies for Nevada Debate

Today marks the deadline for candidates to qualify for tomorrow’s Democratic presidential primary debate in Las Vegas—including former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg, who’s surging in recent national polls despite not appearing on the ballot at this week’s Nevada caucuses. Fellow candidates are taking aim at Bloomberg’s record and comments on race, policing, and women, but they won’t have the 2020 stage to themselves; President Trump leaves this afternoon for a three-day, four-state swing to fundraise and counter-program the Dems in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado.
