And Julián Castro makes 10...

Team -- we just found out that Julián Castro has officially qualified for the fall debate stages. Tom Steyer is just one poll away from guaranteeing his spot, and as a self-funded billionaire, he’s spent over $10 million of his own money to get this far. The field is starting to narro…
