With surging support behind his 2020 Presidential campaign, Mike Bloomberg has qualified to take part in the upcoming Democratic debates.

The former New York City mayor has earned 19 percent in the most recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, meeting the criteria to appear at the Paris Theater in Las Vegas.

Bloomberg campaign manager Kevin Sheekey released a statement noting, “Mike is looking forward to joining the other Democratic candidates on stage and making the case for why he’s the best candidate to defeat Donald Trump and unite the country.”

Bloomberg will face off with Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren in Wednesday night’s debate.
