In Second Democratic Debate, Julian Castro Maintained His Focus On Immigration

The second night of the second round Democratic presidential debates took place Wednesday night in Detroit. The event was billed as a battle between two presumed Democratic front-runners: former Vice President Joe Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris. It was also an opportunity for Texan Julián Castro to break away from the pack as he did in the first debate.

Richard Pineda, director of the Sam Donaldson Center for Communication Studies at the University of Texas at El Paso followed the debate closely, and says Castro did “OK” in the second debate.

“He is in the second tier of the folks that will qualify, potentially, for this third round of debates,” Pineda says. “He doesn’t need very much. I think last night, he probably did what he needed to do to stay in there.”

He says Castro made an impression on debate watchers particularly when it came to immigration.
