Julian Castro Ends Bid for the Presidency
The Epoch Times ^ | 01/02/20

Posted on 01/02/2020 7:55:32 AM PST by Liberty7732

Former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro said he’s dropping out of the 2020 race.

“It’s with profound gratitude to all of our supporters that I suspend my campaign for president today. I’m so proud of everything we’ve accomplished together. I’m going to keep fighting for an America where everyone counts—I hope you’ll join me in that fight,” Castro said in a statement on Jan. 2.

Castro, 45, was the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development during the later years of the Obama administration. He joined the University of Texas at Austin’s LBJ School of Public Affairs in 2017 after leaving that position.

He announced his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination on Jan. 12, 2019.

Castro released a three-minute, 48-second video on Twitter announcing the end to his candidacy, highlighting some moments on the campaign trail.

Who is going to speak for all the “transwomen” or “transmen” who need abortions?

I always get confused here. But he said how “trans” someone needs abortion services.

Apparently there aren’t a lot of “trans” people getting abortions who supported his candidacy. So that’s why his support was in the low single digits.

He could have spent 20 minutes giving all of his supporters a personal phone call, about 5 minutes each!

I really wanted to see the Rats running Castro for President. I think POTUS would have had a great time.

Don’t give up, Mr. Castro! Form a third party, and pick that weirdo Beto O’Rourke as your running mate.

So he’s decided he’s no longer walking for the presidency as you cannot call what he was doing “running”.
