TEXAS -- Elizabeth Warren has unveiled a new list of Texas endorsements as the presidential race heats up.
She's now got the backing of three state representatives and several Austin and San Antonio city council members. Some had previously endorsed Julian Castro, who dropped his White House bid earlier this month. He then quickly gave his support to Warren in the race for the Democratic nomination.
But fellow candidate Joe Biden is leading the way in Texas endorsements. He's also consistently topped Texas polls. The state's delegate-rich primary is March 3.
