WASHINGTON — Former Obama administration housing secretary Julián Castro said Monday that he'd drop out of the presidential race if he doesn't raise $800,000 in 10 days — following the lead of rival Cory Booker, who rode a similar plea to a recent uptick in donations.
The amount Castro hopes to raise in less than two weeks is about a quarter of the $3.5 million total he took in during the three-month period through September. Castro ended the third quarter with just $672,000 in his campaign bank account. A former San Antonio mayor and the only Latino in the 2020 White House race, Castro acknowledged in an email to supporters that he's in danger of not meeting the minimum thresholds of donors and support set by the Democratic Party to qualify for the November debate in Georgia.
