Steve Bullock could bump Eric Swalwell from July primary debates

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock is on track to replace California Rep. Eric Swalwell on the Democratic presidential primary debate stage in July, according to a new poll and clarification about debate qualification procedures.

The Democratic National Committee capped the number of candidates for the June and July debates at 20, and only 20 candidates qualified for the June debate by meeting the threshold of 65,000 individual donors or 1% support in three qualifying polls. Bullock declared his candidacy later than all his rivals, while Swalwell qualified through 1% support in three polls.
