if tom steyer is at 2% in that poll, tom steyer is in the debate. gabbard's in that poll, she's one poll away from making it. she could get her fourth poll in the "usa today"/suffolk poll coming out tomorrow. tom steyer, two shots. if in either one of these polls he can hit 2%, he can join the candidates on the debate stage. tulsi gabbard would need 2% in both polls. marianne williamson, there really isn't a scenario for her unless there are more polls coming out tomorrow. realistically speaking the drama is around tom steyer, maybe tulsi gabbard too. it's a question, are you going to have a one-stage debate for the first time? or are we going to have another one of those multi-night affairs? we will know 24 hours from now. >>> raise you're hand if you're being outspent in the 2020 presidential election. >>> as we just mentioned, tom steyer needs 2% in just one more poll approved by the dnc tomorrow. if he gets that, he qualifies for september's debate. as you might have realized, tom steyer is already all over television. the billionaire former inv

you don't see tulsi gabbert's name, you don't see tom steyer's name. given she was two polls short the fact that gabbert didn't make 2% effectively that eliminated her. no september debate for tulsi gabbert. the second poll quinnipiac by not hitting in the first, stye her to do it in this poll. all candidates 2% or better, steyer did not hit the threshold in that either so therefore unless i'm looking at the clock, it's noon right now, the official deadline for this thing is 11:59 p.m. east coast time tonight. unless there's a new poll nobody is talking about, it comes out in that time that has steyer at 2%, that will be it. those ten candidates as we said it will be a single night of debati debating. everyone is going to get a shot at everyone else, that is a dynamic we have not yet seen on the democratic side but looks like we will see in september. >> and joel, this really does indicate joe biden out in front. we even have an apology in effect from the monmouth poll, a credible poll but says they clearly had an outlier on monday when they came out w

so if there one poll that comes out between now and august 2'8" and tom steyer is at 2% or above, tom steyer gets into the debate. if he doesn't, he doesn't make the stage. tulsi gabbard hit it in two polls. so she needs two more polls to come out in which she receives at least 2%. that much taller order. maryann williamson needs foul polls to come out in the next sik six days to hit 2% otherwise she won't qualify. so three have a chance and i think desitom steyer is the one watch. >> and he is spending a wheelbarrow load of money there in iowa especially on television. you look at that screen, and you forgot honestly that couple of those folks are running for president. don't go anywhere. i want to bring in michael steele. of course former chairman of the republican national committee. good to see you. it's been a while. so so much of it -- so much of the talk so far as been about electability over policy. how will that frame what we hear from the candidates in the next debate? >> i think it will. the one who has the policy on lockdown oig is elizabeth warre probably one of the best

tom steyer, as of this moment, will miss the cut. he needs one more poll at 2% to qualify. so will tulsi gabbard. the dnc's criteria have now effectively cut the field in half from 20 at cnn's debate last month to 10 next month at the debate. now today's polling also brings good news for the man who will be in the center, and that is joe biden, the former vice president has a significant lead where he has been in almost every national poll since the campaigns launched. the big question as more voters start to tune in, as summer ends, will biden stay there? let's get straight to cnn's arlette saenz. what are you hearing from the biden camp about the latest polling and how comfortable he is being in that center stage? >> well, dana, joe biden is going to appear here shortly, holding a town hall in south carolina, as he continues to ride high in these polls. we're seeing biden as this new quinnipiac poll, holding on to his double-digit lead over his closest rivals, at 32%, elizabeth warren at 19%, bernie sanders at 15%. this mirrors pretty similar to a cnn poll that was releas
