JUST IN: Bloomberg qualifies for the next Democratic presidential debate, which is being hosted by NBCNews, MSNBC and the Nevada Independent.
Bloomberg spokeswoman Galia Slayen told NBC News on Monday that he would participate in the debate if he qualified.
Bloomberg's fellow billionaire in the race, Tom Steyer, has yet to hit either the polling or the delegate benchmark to qualify. He sent a letter to Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez complaining that the time frame for the polling is too short and urging the DNC to allow in older polls. The DNC has not budged.that it was doing away with the grassroots donor threshold that had been used in the qualifications for the previous eight debates.
