Castro Lays Off New Hampshire, South Carolina Teams

“Julián Castro’s campaign will fire its staff in New Hampshire and South Carolina, a source familiar with the campaign told Politico. The campaign notified the state teams on Monday and their final day will be next week.”

“The source said the campaign will continue focusing on Iowa and Nevada with a $50,000 television ad buy in Iowa beginning Tuesday morning. The moves amount to a long-shot attempt to remain in the presidential contest in the hopes of catching fire before the first contests begin next February.”
