Democratic Arizona Rep. Ruben Gallego decried that there may be only white candidates on the December Democratic debate stage.

Gallego called it a “problem” that only white candidates have qualified for the upcoming debate in the wake of Sen. Kamala Harris’s decision to drop out of the race. During an interview on CNN, Gallego said it “hurt” that candidates like Cory Booker and Julian Castro have not qualified for the debate.
