Julián Castro announced Monday in an email to supporters that his presidential campaign needs to raise $800,000 by the end of October or he will end his 2020 bid.

The fundraising tactic is a last-ditch effort for a candidate who has struggled to raise money for much of his campaign; he entered the fourth quarter of 2019 with less than $700,000 in the bank. In the email, the former Housing and Urban Development secretary writes that the donations are needed to help him qualify for November's Democratic debate, something he has failed to do so far."I'm asking you to fight for me like never before," Castro says in the email.

However, he has failed to reach the polling threshold.Read More"The campaign needs a significant influx of resources to fund operations needed to secure his spot on the November debate stage," an aide said Monday."To secure these polls, the campaign will need an influx of resources to fund operations in battleground states."Castro is not the first campaign to tie dropping out of the race to a fundraising strategy.

Your done Julian

go fund me!

Oh I forgot about this guy...yea he was never gonna be a contender

SethAbramson Good riddance!

The left want to tax us into bankruptcy and have the nerve to beg for donations.

SethAbramson To be honest I don’t understand why the majority are still in the race.🤷🏼‍♀️

This guy is wasting time and wants to keep some of the money. He should work for NPR- National Panhandler Radio

800k to participate? Lol just shows how little power “ the ppl” have here ... it’s not even about people’s support it’s ALL about Money.

Is that a threat or a promise?

SethAbramson If he has to ask...

ZerlinaMaxwell Good man. But, time to pack up and go home.

SethAbramson “Give me money or I will get out of the way” is not a SUPER-strong pitch.

SethAbramson Good. It’s time. He had not shot at the nomination

SethAbramson 👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

SethAbramson After wrongly going after Biden for not remembering something Biden didn’t say, he has no more appeal to me. Ageism is as hideous as racism.

SethAbramson Sorry but he needs to end it. As do 3/4 of the Democratic candidates.

SethAbramson DropOutJulian

SethAbramson Texas BetoORourke, think Texas.

SethAbramson WHY is this news All the candidates send these emails! Is CNN partial to Castro?

Just do it now.

it's hard to donate to a candidate who is not even showing 1% support. I love him but it's time for him to cut his losses short and try it again in 2024.

Bye...

Ask SenSanders to pay for it

Please just end it you have no chance and we are tired of you taking up time from the real candidates.

Bye bye bye 👋

Why don’t you ask the coyotes but they probably won’t help you since you are ruining their business of smuggling people. You might raise a lot if you smuggle more people

Good let's save people a whole lot of money and time.

Bye-bye

JulianCastro Find another way to serve ... House? Senate? You still have time... Presidential bid? End it please.

Americans DO NOT want JulianCastro as our President. His loyalties lie with his family’s country of birth...Mexico. He is loyal to illegal immigrants, NOT Americans!

Fidel castro younger brother is dropping. Just a matter of time

See ya

He was done before even starting.

Adios

He could just end it now. Might be less painful for all involved if ripped the band-aid off.

Please end. Thank you 🙏🏻

stop wasting people’s time and $

At least 8 need to go

bye bye

Bye Felicia

We are hoping Castro would be ending his campaign

If you have to ask for more cash than it’s time to hang it up. All you are doing now is showing us how much you like to waste money.

Another one bites the dust. And another ones gone. 🎶

Who?

End it now Castro. Support a common sense Dem candidate now Castro. Tell Bernie to do the same thing.

Bye bye

He was just using Obama mannerisms anyways. He thought people were that stupid. He was a poser and a joke

Save us all some time and end it now.

Sunk cost candidacy.

This joke was never going to get the nomination. What a terrible group of Democrats campaigning just terrible but I guess one of these clowns has to get it.

Thank Goodness. Clearly does NOT have 'it'!

Just end it. You have NO chance JesusKnows

End it

Bye!

Oh darn!

just a popularity contest. most voters know nothing.

Down the drain he goes...

Should have gotten on board with FEMA operated Re-education camps like BetoORourke

Watch out MS-13 these days. Big operation is coming.

Lol the entire DNC is cash strapped. Meanwhile trump is breaking fundraising records.

Bye!!!!

Is he a televangelist?

Good Bye!

Quid pro quo..?

Even Trump-Castro donors stated they won't be giving TheDemocrats weasel who doxxed them any more of it. Let his dirty stunt on normal GOP Americans exercising their constitutional rights cost him something. Shell out and return the money, doofus.

Good riddance! Maybe if you weren't spewing lie after lie, you would have a much larger following.

٨٩٠ ISIS

Wtf

If he wants to run so bad...put up his own money like Trump did or drop out.

Bye Felecia !

Another loser will be gone soon. thank God.

Warren Would Use Wealth Tax to Fund $800 Billion Education PlanSen. Elizabeth Warren is calling for $800 billion in additional federal funding for public education, a move that would exhaust the remaining revenue to be raised by her proposed wealth tax. Lol! The republican Congress and Trump gave a $1,500,000,000,000.00 tax cut skewed to the rich. Are you people high? You say that as though *ANY* Democrat has even a basic understanding of Economics. They all think money grows on trees. Venezuela Because she wants to use to further indoctrinate the children of the United States with her Socialist propaganda BS

They paid $800 a month to live without water or power in an abandoned L.A. churchIn June 2018, LAPD officers ordered the residents of an illegally converted South L.A. church building to evacuate. The conditions there were far from unique amid L.A. County's housing crisis. My first thought - did they give them a place to go to? Are they better off without any shelter at all? Otherwise, why would they be there? There should be processes in place to help people evacuate without being left with no shelter at all. Yes liberal cities are hell holes. Rent seems high
