Presidential hopeful Steve Bullock campaigns during Concord's annual festival

Montana Gov. Steve Bullock wanted to share what makes him different than everyone else in a record-setting field of Democrats during next week’s first round of presidential primary debates, but he won’t get the chance, so he came to Concord to tell voters in person.

“I’m the only one in this field who won in a Trump state,” said the Democratic presidential candidate, in an interview with the Monitor that came before a trip to Concord’s Market Days festival.

Bullock, who jumped into the race for the nomination just five weeks ago, didn’t meet either of the Democratic National Committee’s thresholds to make the stage at debate, failing to either rack up contributions from 65,000 unique donors or to hit at least one percent in three qualifying polls.

His exclusion didn’t come without resistance.

“We’re certainly disappointed in the DNC’s decision to not allow me in the debates, because initially we made three qualifying polls, but then they discounted one,” Bullock said.
