Joaquin Castro talks about twin's possible 2020 presidential run
Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, is hoping his twin brother and former HUD Secretary Julian will run for president in 2020 -- a move he feels would revitalize the Democratic Party and defeat President Trump.
"He's definitely thought about it," Castro told Major Garrett (Chief White House Correspondent with CBS News) ... "And have you told him that?" asked Garrett. "Yes," Castro responded.
The Texas congressman also predicts a victory for his party in November's midterm elections, and he's feeling good about the prospects of a big win in his own state, where Democrat Beto O'Rourke is campaigning to take Republican Ted Cruz's seat in the U.S. Senate.
"If you look historically at midterms, the president's party usually gets hammered. And so I believe there is going to be a storm that would hit the Republicans just like there was for Democrats in 2010 and 2014," he told Garrett. "And I just didn't know whether it would be a category 3 storm or a category 5 storm. I think it's going to be a category 5 storm."
