Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro has opted to endorse Senator Elizabeth Warren for President of the United States. Castro made the announcement public on Monday morning with a video on Twitter.
In the video’s caption, he writes, “Elizabeth and I share a vision of America where everyone counts. An America where people?—not the wealthy or well-connected?—are put first. I’m proud to join her in the fight for big, structural change.”
During the video, he states, “There’s one candidate I see who’s unafraid to fight like hell to make sure America’s promise will be there for everyone.”

The news comes just days after the former Mayor of San Antonio announced that he would end his bid for the Oval Office.
With just a week until the next debate in Des Moines, Iowa, this will give a much needed boost to Warren’s campaign. Towards the end of the 2019 fiscal year, Warren experienced a slight dip in fundraising. Still, she remains in contention for the 2020 Democratic Party presidential nomination alongside Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and many others.
