参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦感谢前住房和城市发展部长朱利安·卡斯特罗在爱荷华州第一次核心会议前不到一个月支持她的初选。
这位前2020年的初选候选人透露，他今天早上在社交媒体上支持沃伦，就在他上任四天后辍学总统竞选的结果。
在得到马萨诸塞州参议员的支持后，卡斯特罗将和沃伦一起参加明晚的布鲁克林竞选集会纽约时报报道。
卡斯特罗周一早上在推特上表示，他为能和沃伦一起“为巨大的结构性变革而奋斗”感到“自豪”，并表示如果没有“在我之前的坚强女性”，他自己的故事是不可能的
这位前2020年的初选候选人在随后的一段视频中表示:“我看到有一位候选人不怕下地狱地战斗，以确保美国的承诺将为每个人而存在，他将确保无论你住在美国的什么地方，或者你的家人来自世界的什么地方，你也有机会。
“这就是为什么我自豪地支持伊丽莎白·沃伦竞选总统。”
沃伦在回应代言视频时说:“谢谢你，朱利安·阿斯特罗！你一直是大胆、渐进变革的有力代言人，我很荣幸能得到你的支持。
“我们将共同努力，确保美国的每个家庭都有机会。”
前住房和城市发展部部长在1月2日星期四宣布他的初选结束后不久，这位马萨诸塞州参议员还感谢他在竞选期间“提出大胆和进步的计划”。
“你让这场比赛变得更加强大——在未来的许多年里，你将继续成为我们党和国家的领袖，”她在推特上写道。
新闻周刊已经联系了沃伦2020竞选团队，以获得更多关于该代言的评论和信息。
朱利安·卡斯特罗在2019年10月28日DC华盛顿的沃尔特·华盛顿会议中心接受了前奥巴马政府官员本·罗德斯和汤米·维特的采访。
卡斯特罗对沃伦总统候选人资格的支持是在2月3日星期一爱荷华州预选会议召开前28天，这是2020年初选的第一次提名活动，八天后新罕布什尔州初选。
根据“真正透明的政治”的平均数据，随着爱荷华州核心小组的激烈争论，伯尼·桑德斯在该州民主党选民中以22%的支持率领先。
根据《真实透明政治》的民意调查，沃伦位居第四，有15.3%的政党选民支持她，比排名第三的乔·拜登落后5个百分点。
目前还不清楚卡斯特罗的支持是否会对她在爱荷华州的地位产生任何影响，因为哥伦比亚广播公司新闻部/YouGov最近的一项民意调查显示，该州只有5%的主要选民表示他们正在考虑支持他，而当被问及支持哪一位候选人时，只有0%的人支持前住房和城市发展部部长。
卡斯特罗退出2020年初选后表示，爱荷华州核心小组进程“没有任何意义”，他说，如果有人告诉他们该进程是如何运作的，“人们”会认为共和党人设计了爱荷华州核心小组”。
ELIZABETH WARREN THANKS JULIAN CASTRO FOR HIS SUPPORT LESS THAN ONE MONTH BEFORE IOWA CAUCUS
Senator Elizabeth Warren has thanked former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro for endorsing her primary campaign less than a month before the first caucus in Iowa.
The ex-2020 primary candidate revealed he was endorsing Warren on social media this morning, just four days after he dropped out of the presidential race himself.
Following his endorsement of the Massachusetts senator, Castro will join Warren at a Brooklyn campaign rally tomorrow night, CNN and The New York Timesreported.
Castro tweeted on Monday morning that he was "proud" to join Warren in her "fight for big, structural change," saying his own story wouldn't be possible without "strong women who came before me."
In a video endorsement accompanying the post, the ex-2020 primary candidate said: "There's one candidate I see who's unafraid to fight like hell to make sure America's promise will be there for everyone, who will make sure no matter where you live in America, or where your family came from in the world, you have a path to opportunity too.
"That's why I'm proud to endorse Elizabeth Warren for president."
Responding to the endorsement video, Warren said: "Thank you, @JulianCastro! You've been a powerful voice for bold, progressive change and I'm honored to have your support.
"Together, we'll fight to make sure every single family in America has a path to opportunity."
Shortly after the former HUD secretary announced the end of his primary campaign on Thursday, January 2, the Massachusetts senator also thanked him for "proposing bold and progressive plans" during the race.
"You made this race stronger—and you will continue to be a leader in our party and our country for many years to come," she tweeted.
Newsweek has contacted the Warren 2020 campaign for further comment and information on the endorsement.
Julian Castro is interviewed by former Obama Administration officials Ben Rhodes and Tommy Vietor at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center October 28, 2019 in Washington, DC.
Castro's backing of Warren's presidential candidacy comes just 28 days before the Iowa caucuses on Monday, February 3—the first nominating event of the 2020 primary, followed eight days later by the New Hampshire primary.
As the Iowa caucus battleground stands, Sen. Bernie Sanders is polling in the lead with 22 percent support among Democratic voters in the state, according to the Real Clear Politics average.
Sen. Warren is in fourth place, with 15.3 percent of party voters backing her, putting her five points behind third place Joe Biden, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average.
It is unclear whether Castro's endorsement will have any impact on her standing in Iowa, as a recent CBS News/YouGov poll showed just 5 percent of primary voters in the state said they were considering supporting him, while zero percent backed the former HUD secretary when asked which one candidate they supported.
After he dropped out of the 2020 primary race, Castro said the Iowa caucus process "doesn't make any sense," saying people "would think that Republicans designed the Iowa caucus" if they were told about how the process worked.
