Can Julian Castro Find A Lane In Crowded Race To Democratic Nomination? [View all]

President Donald Trump's re-election campaign faces a crowded field of Democrats who want to challenge him for the presidency. Among them is Julian Castro. The former San Antonio mayor and secretary of U.S. Housing and Urban Development is not a household name. But he is working to change that.

Trump threw a campaign event in downtown San Antonio on Wednesday. A few hours later, Castro hosted a counter-rally. He shared with the audience what he planned to do once a defeated Trump hands the presidency to him.

“We will be on the White House lawn," Castro said, "and the helicopter will be right there in the distance. And right before he leaves -- right before he walks away to the helicopter -- I’m going to tell him, 'Adios!' "

Castro has to outmaneuver and defeat at least 20 other Democrats to secure the party’s presidential nomination before he can take on the Republican incumbent in a national election.
