Billionaire Tom Steyer became the seventh candidate to qualify for the Democratic presidential debate Tuesday night in South Carolina, his campaign said in a statement.
Steyer, who didn’t qualify for the Nevada debate last week, made the cut by garnering 18% in a CBS News/YouGov South Carolina poll released on Sunday. To qualify, candidates need to have won a delegate to the national convention from Iowa, New Hampshire or Nevada, or have reached at least 10% in at least four national polls or 12% in two polls in South Carolina.
