The list of candidates running for the 2020 presidential election continues to grow. To the names of stars like Kanye West or Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, the one of the democratic politician Julián Castro has just been added, who has just revealed that he is contemplating his candidacy.

"It is very likely that it will. I have a very solid vision for the country. I think the country is going in the wrong direction and that it needs leadership,”Castro said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine. "I will make a final decision after November."

The Mexican American served as secretary of urbanization and planning from 2014 to 2017 during the administration of former President Barack Obama. The 44-year-old politician also served as mayor of San Antonio from 2009 to 2014.

Currently, the father of two children is dedicated to promoting the vote in favor of the Democratic candidates for the midterm elections, to be held on November 6.

He also promotes his new book An Unlikely Journey: Waking up from My American Dream, based on some of his experiences and which many consider with a kind of biography, necessary for anyone who aspires to reach the White House.

The task of Castro and anyone who intends to contend against current President Donald Trump in the race for the presidency will have a tough task, as the Republican billionaire has reportedly raised more than $ 100 million to date for his reelection campaign.
