No, I understand that, but aren't there two debate nights in June (26/27) referred to as the "1st debate" and two debate nights in July (30/31) referred to as the "2nd debate"?

My point is that the article sounds like the June 26/27 debate is set in stone, but doesn't seem to refer to the July 30/31 debate, which one would presume would come with an extra month to qualify for. The remaining 4 candidates might hang on to try to qualify for that one before dropping out.

I follow you now.

I don't expect them to try to hang on for the second round of debates because qualifications requirements double.

I thought they didn't double until the 3rd debates? Might they compete to get into the second debates, if they have the same requirements, and hope that being in a debate gets them the energy to stay in to the 3rd debates?
