WASHINGTON _ Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro said Monday he is backing Sen. Elizabeth Warren for president, just days after dropping out of the race.
Castro said in a Twitter post that they both share a vision of an America "where people _ not the wealthy or well-connected _ are put first." He said in an accompanying video that there's one candidate he sees "who's unafraid to fight like hell to make sure America's promise will be there for everyone."
"That's why I'm proud to endorse Elizabeth Warren for president," Castro said.
