Tulsi Gabbard says she won't participate in December debate if she qualifies
Quote:
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii on Monday said she won’t participate in next week’s Democratic presidential debate regardless of whether or not she qualifies.
“For a number of reasons, I have decided not to attend the December 19th ‘debate’ — regardless of whether or not there are qualifying polls,” Ms. Gabbard said on Twitter. “I instead choose to spend that precious time directly meeting with and hearing from the people of New Hampshire and South Carolina.”
It appears that Ms. Gabbard is one qualifying poll short of meeting the Democratic National Committee’s polling threshold to make the next debate stage.
Candidates are staring at a Thursday deadline to qualify for the Dec. 19 debate.
The Hawaii congresswoman participated in last month’s debate, but has criticized the DNC and its process for determining who makes it into the stage.
