US Democrats Castro and Gabbard launch bids for presidency
Two senior Democratic politicians have announced that they will challenge for the US presidency in 2020.
Julian Castro launched his campaign on Saturday, and Tulsi Gabbard has said she will make a formal announcement within a week.
Mr Castro is expected to be the only Latino in the race, and Ms Gabbard is the first Hindu member of Congress.
Both enter what could be a crowded field of Democrats vying to challenge President Donald Trump.
Until now only former congressman John Delaney has formally launched a campaign, more than a year ago.
