How were
the debate stages decided?
Candidates had to qualify for the first debates by either
receiving at least 1% support in three polls from an approved list of pollsters
or receiving campaign contributions from 65,000 unique donors, including 200
donors each from 20 different states.
NBC divided the 20 qualifying candidates into two groups:
those with polling averages at 2% or higher and those whose polling averages
are under 2%. NBC then did a random selection, dividing up the top tier and
lower tier into the two nights.
What are
the rules for the debates?
Candidates have one minute to respond to questions and 30
seconds for follow-ups, according to NBC News. Each two-hour debate will be divided into five
parts with four commercial breaks.
Candidates will not have the opportunity to make opening
remarks but will be given time for closing statements.
