   WASHINGTON - U.S. Democratic Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren
   won endorsement on Monday from former rival Julian Castro, days after
   he gave up his own White House campaign.

   "Elizabeth and I share a vision of America where everyone counts. An
   America where people--not the wealthy or well-connected--are put first.
   I'm proud to join her in the fight for big, structural change," Castro
   wrote on Twitter.

     Today I'm proud to endorse [1]@ewarren for president.

   Castro will campaign with Warren at an event in Brooklyn on Tuesday.
   When Castro, 45, ended his own presidential campaign last week, the
   former mayor of San Antonio, Texas, and former Housing Department chief
   during the Obama administration said in a video message to supporters
   that he had "determined that it simply isn't our time."
   Castro, who is Hispanic, is the most recent candidate of color to exit
   a 2020 race that, in its early months, had a historically diverse field
   of Democratic presidential contenders.
