The former San Antonio mayor and Obama Cabinet member, Julian Castro, ended his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday. The sole Latino in the race, Castro, 45, was a youthful presence in a contest led by a trio of septuagenarians. Castro turned his fire on Joe Biden over the same issue at a debate in July. Castro was one of the few Democrats in the presidential race to highlight plans to reverse the nation’s surge in homelessness. Castro, had he won the nomination, would have struck a sharp contrast with President Donald Trump, whose political career was fueled by anti-immigrant rhetoric.
