(SAN ANTONIO) — Former Obama housing chief Julian Castro says he’s taking a step toward a possible White House campaign in 2020 by forming a presidential exploratory committee. The Texas Democrat tells The Associated Press that he will announce a decision Jan. 12. The move Wednesday gives the 44-year-old former San Antonio mayor an early start to what’s shaping up as a crowded Democratic field without a clear front-runner to challenge President Donald Trump. Castro indicated in an AP interview that his mind was all but made up. “I know where I’m leaning, for sure,” said Castro, who has said for weeks that it was likely he would seek the nomination. An exploratory committee usually is a formality before a candidate launches a presidential campaign.
