All Eyes On Bloomberg As Vegas Debate Marks First Clash With Candidates

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler Durden

And while Vermont socialist Bernie Sanders will try to continue the momentum which has recently propelled him to front-runner status, and former Vice President Joe Biden attempts to pull out of a nosedive - things could get interesting, as it will mark former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg's first debate after a rule change facilitated his qualification.

While Bloomberg isn't competing in Nevada, he is expected to enter the 2020 race on Super Tuesday, March 3, according to The Hill.

Bloomberg became eligible for Wednesday's debate after the Democratic National Committee (DNC) lifted a restriction that had excluded candidates from the stage unless they received donations from a certain number of supporters. Bloomberg, who often ranks among the world's 20 richest people, is self-funding his campaign and not accepting campaign contributions.
