Former Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro on Thursday unveiled a new political action committee that aims to help down-ballot progressive Democrats running for office this year. The endorsements, however, come as Castro has yet to formally back Joe Biden for president. Castro and the former vice president – who worked together in the Obama administration – clashed last summer and fall during a couple of Democratic presidential primary debates. Castro appears to be the only former Biden rival – other than best-selling spiritual author Marianne Williamson who’s refrained from endorsing the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. The launch of his PAC is Castro’s latest move to influence the 2020 election since he ended his White House bid.
