Tulsi Gabbard hits donor goal, qualifying for primary debate

Rep. Tusli Gabbard (D-Hawaii) announced on Twitter that 65,000 people have donated to her presidential campaign, meaning she is now eligible to participate in the June Democratic primary debates.

Thank you! I’m extremely grateful that over 65,000 of you have now donated to our campaign, ensuring our voice will be heard in the upcoming debates. For a small campaign that doesn’t accept PAC money, I knew we had to rely fully on the power of the people. Aloha & Mahalo! pic.twitter.com/Uw303e2JUh

Details: Gabbard claims she has not accepted any PAC donations. If more than 20 candidates meet the 65,000 donation qualification, they may have polling qualifications to meet later.
