Julián Castro Ran for President on a Police Reform Platform But Wasn't Invited to Give DNC Address

The Democratic National Convention faces criticism over the lack of diversity in its primetime programming during this year's virtual event, even as Latinx voters are slated to make up the largest bloc of nonwhite voters in 2020. Only a handful of Latinx speakers and no Muslim speakers are appearing during the broadcasted convention, while Republicans like former Ohio Governor John Kasich were given slots. There were 35 primetime speakers, and only three of them were Latinx, and I raised a concern about that," says Julian Castro, former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and the only Latinx candidate in the race. I don't think that represented the beautiful coalition that the Democrats put together."
