Related: About this forumJulin Castro Endorses Elizabeth Warren
The move came soon after Mr. Castro ended his own bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, and gives a lift to Ms. Warrens campaign as it tries to reignite excitement.
Julián Castro, the former housing secretary whose progressive presidential candidacy did not make significant inroads with Democratic voters but earned plaudits from the partys left wing, has endorsed Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, offering a possible lift for her candidacy less than one month before the Iowa caucuses.
Mr. Castro announced his endorsement on Monday morning, just days after he ended his own bid for the White House. In a statement, Mr. Castro cast Ms. Warren as the logical extension of his campaigns social-justice-driven message, which seeks to correct inequities through targeted policy proposals. He will campaign with Ms. Warren this week, joining her Tuesday night at a rally at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn.
Theres one candidate I see who is unafraid to fight like hell to make sure that Americas promise will be there for everyone, Mr. Castro said in a video announcement released on Twitter. Ms. Warren, he said, will make sure that no matter where you live in America or where your family came from in the world, you have a path to opportunity, too.

I remember it too. I recall she was nodding in agreement with him on decriminalizing border crossing to stop family separation & indefinite detention.
