ANDREW YANG QUALIFIES FOR FEBRUARY DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY DEBATE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
NEW YORK — Today, Andrew Yang earned a spot in the next Democratic primary debate stage on Feb. 7 in New Hampshire. A Washington Post/ABC News national poll shows Andrew Yang at 7 percent, putting him in fifth place nationally. A Fox News national poll also has Andrew Yang at 5 percent. In New Hampshire, polls released by CNN/University of New Hampshire and NBC News/Marist show Andrew Yang at 5 percent.
“America has spoken. Voters clearly missed Andrew Yang’s presence in the most recent debate and now they are making sure he will be on the debate stage in New Hampshire. The race for the nomination has only just begun, and Andrew Yang is going to keep fighting for all Americans to have their voices heard, including the more than 400,000 individual donors who fuel our campaign, and the thousands of Yang supporters who will be showing up on election days throughout the Democratic primaries,” said Campaign Chief Nick Ryan.
The polls released today place Andrew Yang well over the qualifying requirement for the next debate. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) requires candidates to reach 5 percent in four approved national polls or 7 percent in two approved early state polls. Andrew Yang had already surpassed the DNC’s threshold of 225,000 unique donors, raking in $16.5 million and reaching more than 400,000 unique donors in the final fundraising quarter of 2019.
