Michael Bloomberg has officially qualified for Wednesday’s Democratic presidential debate in Las Vegas, marking the first time the billionaire 2020 contender will come face to face with his rivals.

Bloomberg, who made a late entry into the primary, met the Democratic National Committee’s qualifications to get on stage with the Tuesday release of a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll that put the former mayor in second place with 19 percent support.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was in first place with 31 percent support, according to the poll.

“Mike is looking forward to joining the other Democratic candidates on stage and making the case for why he’s the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump and unite the country,” Bloomberg campaign manager Kevin Sheekey said.

“Since Mike launched his campaign 13 weeks ago, he’s met with voters in 25 states and 62 cities. Our crowds continue to grow, and our coalition continues to broaden,” Sheeky added. “There’s a desire in every corner of this country for a proven leader, for someone who will stand up to bullies and special interests and get things done. That person is Mike Bloomberg, and we look forward to more Americans seeing that on Wednesday night.”

In order to qualify, Bloomberg needed to register at least 10 percent support in four national polls or 12 percent support in two state polls in Nevada and South Carolina. Candidates could have also qualified by getting at least one delegate out of the Iowa caucuses or New Hampshire primary — except Bloomberg entered the race too late to compete in either.

In late January, the DNC announced a major revision to its qualification criteria that paved the way for Bloomberg’s inclusion.

Bloomberg was originally ineligible to qualify for Democratic debates because he is self-funding his entire campaign and accepting no donations, which left him unable to meet the previous donor requirements.
