To qualify for the debate, the DNC required candidates to show a threshold of at least 1% support in major polls, or 65,000 individual donations from at least 20 states. If more than 20 candidates qualified, the DNC would decide who to cut (which would have given them a great excuse to get rid of Bernie before things start getting out of hand like they did during the last go-round).

Here's the final list of contenders:

Joe Biden, former vice president Elizabeth Warren, U.S. senator from Massachusetts

Bernie Sanders, U.S. senator from Vermont

Pete Buttigieg, South Bend, Indiana, mayor

Kamala Harris, U.S. senator from California

Beto O’Rourke, former U.S. congressman from Texas

Cory Booker, U.S. senator from New Jersey

Kirsten Gillibrand, U.S. senator from New York

Michael Bennet, U.S. senator from Colorado

Amy Klobuchar, U.S. senator from Minnesota

Tim Ryan, U.S. congressman from Ohio

Eric Swalwell, U.S. congressman from California

Tulsi Gabbard, U.S. congresswoman from Hawaii

Jay Inslee, Washington governor

John Hickenlooper, former Colorado governor

Julian Castro, former secretary of Housing and Urban Development

Bill de Blasio, New York City mayor

John Delaney, former U.S. congressman from Maryland

Andrew Yang, entrepreneur

Marianne Williamson, spiritual healer
