9 Democratic presidential candidates, led by Sen. Cory Booker, call on the Democratic National Committee to ease qualification thresholds for upcoming debates.
“As a result, candidates who have proven both their viability and their commitment to the Democratic Party are being prematurely cut out of the nominating contest before many voters have even tuned in — much less made their decision about whom to support,” it continued.because of a labor dispute at Loyola Marymount, where the food workers' union says it's been working without a contract.
In its response, the DNC said that after votes are cast in February, debate criteria “will reflect those contests.” It also comes amid a growing concern the field is narrowing to predominantly white candidates, renewing calls for voters to decide which candidates should advance in primaries instead of the DNC.
A rival campaign staffer told NBC News that Booker organized the letter in the last couple of days and had only a couple of candidates sign on until locking down the remainder Saturday morning. The staffer also said the DNC has pushed back on the Booker camp privately, and with the other campaigns, saying it will not revert back to earlier standards.
