Longshot Democrat presidential candidate Julián Castro ended his flailing White House campaign on Thursday after struggling to achieve a breakthrough in the polls in a crowded Democrat primary field.
“Today, it’s with a heavy heart and profound gratitude that I will suspend my campaign for president,” Castro said in a video statement shared to Twitter, adding it “simply isn’t our time” to clinch the Democrat nomination. “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,” he added.
Castro, the sole Latino to mount a bid for the White House this cycle, was hampered for months by poor fundraising, and failed to qualify for the most recent Democrat presidential primary debate in Los Angeles, California. While he ran an overtly progressive campaign, championing far-left positions on issues such as immigration, his candidacy was often overshadowed by rivals like former Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke (D-TX) and former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor, Pete Buttigieg (D).
I’m not really interested in any of them till the voting starts to select the final candidate.
And the I’m only interested to see who will run against Trump and what arguments and issues they have used will appeal to the Democrats most, not because I would ever think of voting for one of them or expect them (at least any of the current ones) to win the election.
How much money was wasted on this useless campaign of his? IMHO it’s a crime. But who really cares?
He’ll still never get it that no one likes a jerk.
Nice try, Fidel!
I’m surprised he lasted this long. No amount of shine to that la raza spawn can make him palatable.
Where are the before and after snapshots of his bank account??
Or put a nuther way, “Julián, are you better off today than you were on January 12, 2019?
Curious minds want to know.
Missed it by THAT much!
Back to his night clerk job at the Motel 6.
I think I speak for most Americans when I say “who?”
back to his nighttime job w/his gay twin brother of pimping mommacitas and little homeless illegal boys in San Antonia barrios
Hasta la vista pendejo.
10 years ago, they were pimping this pinche puto as the proximo Presidente.
All the amateur demographic experts agree. El Futuro es Frijoles
He should have capitulated on Taco Tuesday!
Pussy couldn’t even make it to Cinco De Mayo? Ay Caramba!
La hija de puta shouldn’t a talked caca about our President.
Good riddance; stay out of America politics.
Chin up, little amigo. Mexico is screaming for leadership.
And take Beto with you.
You could run a “Pendejo & Lefty” ticket!
the diversity rainbow just got less diverse. what will the demotards do?
There’s never been a beige stripe on any rainbow flag I’ve seen.
Never mind his policies.
Democrats believe conservatives are all ignorant and uneducated.
If this is true, then they would also believe that many swing voters would not be smart enough to distinguish between Fidel Castro and this Castro.
Therefore, running with that last name, although not related, would be the second stupidest thing they could possibly do.
The most stupid thing would be a candidate with the last name of Hitler.
All of the candidates that the Demos have put forward are there just to look like a real & diverse race before they super delegate Mr. Sniff the nomination.
He got castro-ated out of the dimmocrap election laff-a-thon.
