Former presidential candidate Julian Castro, who was the sole Latino contender in the 2020 presidential race, is warning that the lack of Latino representation in the Democratic National Convention could translate to a loss of votes for Democrats. “I think that we could win the battle and lose the war,” Castro said during an interview with Axios. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., spoke briefly Tuesday night, for only about a minute – a time slot that further angered progressive voters. “The Latino community too often is invisible, it’s an afterthought,” Castro said. "More importantly, ensuring that the Latino community is a robust part of this coalition going forward" is the goal, Castro told Axios.
