Carly Fiorina is no longer being relegated to the kiddie table.
CNN announced Tuesday that it was revising its criteria so that “any candidate who ranks in the top 10 in polling between August 6 and September 10 will be included” in the prime-time Republican debate on Sept. 16. Fiorina has consistently polled in the top 10 of GOP candidates after delivering a standout performance in the Aug. 6 Fox News/Facebook undercard debate for Republican presidential hopefuls.
