After Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, Democrat mega-donor Alex Soros quickly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as the potential Democrat nominee against former President Donald Trump in November. As the head of the Open Society Foundations (OSF), Soros signaled on Sunday that his family’s vast fortune would support Kamala Harris, further strengthening her position as a strong contender.
Soros, who has been a longtime supporter of the Biden administration, wrote on Twitter: “It’s time for us all to unite around Kamala Harris and beat Donald Trump. She is the best and most qualified candidate we have. Long live the American Dream! #Harris2024. This endorsement comes after President Joe Biden faced pressure from within the Democrat Party, the grass roots, and the donor class to step aside as his support continued to slide following a disastrous debate with President Trump last month.
Alex Soros, who recently announced his engagement to Hillary Clinton’s former aide Huma Abedin, solidifying his connections into Democrat Party royalty, has been reported by Breitbart News to have visited the Biden White House 15 times as of July last year and met with administration officials on 20 different occasions. Furthermore, he was also rewarded with an invitation to a state dinner for French President Emmanuel Macron.
Last September, the 38-year-old chairman of the Board of Directors of the Open Society Foundations said that one of his chief objectives will be to prevent former President Donald Trump and any other “MAGA-style” Republicans from taking power in 2024, stating that “such an outcome will imperil European unity and undermine the progress achieved on many fronts in response to the war in Ukraine.
In addition to supporting Democrat candidates, Soros and his Hungarian father have long been active in promoting left-wing causes in America, including abortion, amnesty for illegal migrants, mass migration, the legalization of prostitution, and climate change activism. George Soros has also been involved in local prosecutor elections, backing candidates in favor of “criminal justice reforms,” namely the refusal to send criminals to prison. After taking over the helm of the OSF, Alex Soros said that he was “more political” than his father.
According to CNBC, between the Open Society Foundations and personal contributions from George Soros, the activist family directed an estimated half a billion dollars towards leftist causes, which the outlet stated were mostly “steered through dark money nonprofit groups and going largely toward political causes aligned with the Democratic Party.
