WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton won a major endorsement from Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, fueling further speculation the rising star in the Democratic party could be Clinton's pick for vice president.
Castro, the former mayor of San Antonio, said he and the former secretary of state have had a long relationship. In his endorsement Thursday, Castro said, "I know that she appeals to Americans of all backgrounds and colors, different perspectives and walks of life."
