Liberal Democrats - Poltical Broadcast #1 2015 - Video
Washington All the talk about GOP Sen. Marco Rubios prospects as a presidential candidate raises an inevitable question for Democratic favorite Hillary Rodham Clinton: If shes the nominee, will she choose a Latino as her running mate?
In 2016, having the first female presidential nominee for a major party in US history may not be enough diversity for the Democratic ticket. The Latino vote is a fast-growing, crucial piece of the American electorate for both parties. So it may, in fact, make sense for Mrs. Clinton to double down on diversity with a Latino running mate.
High on the presumed list is Julin Castro. Hes secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and former mayor of San Antonio long eyed as a rising Democratic star, along with his identical twin, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D) of Texas.
Last May, when President Obama tapped Julin Castro to run HUD, it was clear the White House was trying to build the then-mayors national rsum. Mr. Obama was excited about the mayor bringing his practical, on-the-ground success to scale at the federal level, a White House official said at the time.
In 2012, Mr. Castro was the Democrats choice as the partys national convention keynote speaker a slot Obama used in 2004 as a springboard to national fame, and eventually the presidency.
From the moment Castro was nominated to run the housing department, the move was framed as an effort to position him for the next Democratic ticket.
From Castros perspective, being seen as a veep prospect could pay dividends in his work at HUD, usually a backwater for national media coverage. He is cautious about his talk of the future. But he cant control what reporters write about him including a recent piece in The Daily Beast that asserted, Julian Castro is in VP training camp.
Castro said his top goal at HUD is to implement Obamas call to end veterans homelessness, and also to expand housing vouchers for victims of domestic abuse. But inevitably, he was asked about the future.
Well see what happens in the years to come, Castro told The Daily Beasts Eleanor Clift and a handful of other reporters. Im trying to do a great job as HUD secretary. If you do a great job, that opens up opportunities, sometimes opportunities you dont even see in the future.
Clinton reportedly has long had her eye on Castro, and though theyve met a couple of times, they dont know each other well, Ms. Clift reports.
