His thoughts on the appeal regarding the DNC’s debate rules read as follows:
“I’m a little bit biased because I’m making the fall debates so I think the rules are fine. I think the DNC has been very fair and open and transparent. The rules have been out there for us all to see for months. If you were going to complain about the criteria, you would probably want to complain about it a little bit earlier in the process to make it seem like it’s not purely self-interested.”

Thus far, there is no word from the DNC on whether or not they will lower the bar of entry for low-polling candidates to appear on the third debate stage.
