NEW YORK — With an unusual flurry of national media appearances and the rollout of her highest profile endorsement to date — former presidential candidate Julián Castro — Elizabeth Warren is trying to give her campaign a jolt in the final weeks before the Iowa caucuses.

For most of her presidential run, the Massachusetts senator had spurned Beltway-centric Sunday shows, mostly stayed away from the cable news circuit, and only occasionally went on national TV shows. But as her polling and fundraising has dipped in recent weeks, Warren has embarked on an energetic media tour, with interviews on NBC’s “Meet the Press,“ CNN’s “State of the Union,“ NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers,“ ABC’s “The View,“ and MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show“ — all since Sunday. She'll keep up the circuit with an appearance on MSNBC's “Morning Joe“ on Wednesday morning.

The campaign simultaneously rolled out Castro’s endorsement on Monday with a web video that quickly earned millions of views, then a rally here before a thunderous audience of about 3,000 people, plus a large overflow crowd outside, at the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn.

“We’re meeting at a very special moment in this entire campaign cycle. We’re less than a month away from when voting starts in Iowa,” Castro, who walked out to Selena's “Baila Esta Cumbia,” said in introducing Warren. "More than any other candidate in this race, more than any other candidate that’s going to be on that debate stage in a few days, Elizabeth Warren is the candidate who can unite the entire Democratic party."
