Some good news for Tulsi Gabbard — she’s back on the debate stage:

Tulsi Gabbard has one delegates out of American Samoa. She will be on the debate stage.

Warren still has not won a delegate as far as I can tell. ?

And by winning one delegate in American Samoa, Tulsi Gabbard has earned back a spot on the debate stage. pic.twitter.com/SXe2CiTXpa
