Can you feel the excitement? 

 

Last Wednesday night, Julián powerfully stood upon the Democratic debate stage leaving the country fired up to say “Adiós” to Trump. By the end of night one, he had boldly introduced himself as a defender of reproductive justice, immigrants’ rights, the transgender community, and working families.

 

Voters across the U.S. now have a true sense of what a Castro nomination would look like, and they love what they see.

• A post-debate NBC News poll shows that 5 out of 6 believe that Julián came out on top for both debate nights.
   
• A Five Thirty Eight poll has shown an overall 20 point increase in favorability—more than any other candidate.
   
• Univision reported that Julián doubled his support among Latino voters and was the top choice for respondents to tackle the issue of immigration.
   
• And Tuesday morning, ABC News released a national poll with Julián at 4%—hurdling over other candidates he's been trailing in polls.

Julián's Google searches increased by around 3,000% during the debates, and #AdiósTrump was the top trending hashtag of the night.

The press also had a lot to say about Julián’s performance.

• CNN’s Van Jones “nerded out” over Julián’s “Texas Takedown.”
   
• The New York Times crowned him the winner of night one.
   
• The Washington Post highlighted the way he brought up the transgender community in a conversation about reproductive health care.

And this week, he sat with Rachel Maddow to discuss how his debate performance helped thrust his campaign in the spotlight and showed he has the policy, experience and background to take on Trump.
