Currently only Warren, Biden and Sanders qualified for the next debate.

I gotta say I'm somewhat disappointed. I'd have expected at least one younger candidate to stand out amongst the elderly. Surely we're going to see some dropouts too now? Everyone below Yang really has no chance, and I don't see any of them increasing their stock for future races either.

Buttigieg will stay around a bit, same with Yang. They have enough appeal and check the younger candidate box. Kamala is accusing the democrat voters of being sexist and racist so she will be on the outs soon (or who knows, that actually may help her out)
the rest are done for it seems

Note that only recent polls count for this criterion, so it is very likely that candidates like Buttigieg or Harris will get the remaing qualifying poll that they need before the deadline. It's not like they have unsuccessfully struggled to get this 4th poll for many months...
