Soros Family Unleashes More Than $100 Million to Drive Democrats Further Left
George Soros and his son, Alex Soros, have already funneled more than $102 million into the 2026 midterm elections, making the billionaire family one of the Democratic Party’s most powerful financial forces as it continues its move toward the progressive left.
With more than four months remaining before Election Day, George Soros is on pace to surpass the personal record he set during the previous midterm elections, when he contributed $128 million and ranked as the largest individual political donor in the country.
“Money talks, and Soros money says the most insidious, unconstitutional, costly tax hikes in American history are on the table,” said Douglas Kellogg, state projects director for Americans for Tax Reform.
Kellogg also described Soros as a “wannabe Bond villain,” blaming him for what he called the Democratic Party’s radical transformation.
Federal Election Commission filings show that only $793,800 of the family’s political giving this cycle was donated directly under George Soros’ own name.
Instead, the overwhelming majority of the money—roughly $102 million—flowed through Democracy PAC, the super PAC George Soros established in 2020 that now serves as the family’s principal political fundraising vehicle, making it more difficult to determine exactly which candidates benefit from the spending.
Campaign records indicate that approximately $52 million was transferred from George Soros through his private company, Geosor, while another $50 million came from the Fund for Policy Reform, a nonprofit whose tax documents identify Alex Soros as its director.
Those figures also exclude the activities of the family’s Open Society Foundation and its lobbying affiliate, the Open Society Action Fund. Critics have accused those organizations of financing efforts to loosen drug laws, expand immigration policies, and reduce policing. Because the Action Fund operates as a nonprofit advocacy organization, it is not required to publicly disclose its political expenditures.
During previous election cycles, the Open Society Action Fund supported organizations aligned with progressive lawmakers including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Ilhan Omar. Financial disclosures for its 2025 activities, however, have not yet been released.
The family’s political operation underwent a significant leadership change before the 2024 presidential race, when George Soros formally handed control of Democracy PAC and much of his political network to his son Alex, whom he has described as being even more politically engaged.
“He wants to be more political than his dad, this is the first midterm cycle where he is in control,” Parker Thayer, investigative researcher at Capital Research Center, told The Post.
“George is not in control, he hasn’t been in control in some time.”
Although Alex Soros now oversees the family’s political operation, both father and son have largely supported the same slate of Democratic candidates. Alex also contributed an additional $140,525 from his personal funds during this election cycle.
Both George and Alex Soros each donated the maximum allowable amount of $7,000 to Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, bringing their combined support to $14,000. Platner has faced allegations of misconduct involving women while also criticizing wealthy Americans despite his own privileged background and financial backing from billionaire donors.
Alex Soros also gave the maximum legal contribution of $7,000 to Rep. Ilhan Omar, who has faced criticism over allegations that she knew about widespread fraud involving members of the Somali community in her Minneapolis district. Omar has denied wrongdoing. He also donated the maximum $7,000 to Rep. Ro Khanna of California, the Silicon Valley congressman who is reportedly considering a presidential campaign in 2028.
The Soros family also directed maximum contributions to two additional Democrats viewed as possible White House contenders. Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff of Georgia each received a combined total of $14,000 from George and Alex Soros.
Campaign finance records show that the Soros family has already deposited 52% more into Democracy PAC than it did during the 2024 election cycle, when it contributed approximately $67 million.
George Soros, whom President Trump highlighted in September when directing the FBI to intensify efforts against what he called “left-wing terrorism,” has long been a central financial backer of progressive causes both in the United States and internationally.
Critics say Soros contributed more than $15 million to organizations that supported pro-Hamas campus demonstrations, financed groups that equipped anti-ICE protesters outside Delaney Hall with military-style equipment, and spent more than $7 million advocating for criminal justice legislation that opponents argue could allow dangerous offenders—including the notorious “Son of Sam”—to seek release.
“The Soros family is angrier than ever at American politics,” said Thayer. “They would prefer to remake America into something entirely different.”
The Open Society network has rejected accusations linking it to terrorism, maintaining that its purpose is to strengthen democratic institutions around the world.
George Soros matched his son’s maximum contribution to Graham Platner, and the pair also each donated $7,000 to Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington state, who last month acknowledged traveling to Cuba with oil despite the longstanding U.S. embargo.
“There are two guarantees in life — death and George Soros writing a blank check for Democrats,” lambasted Republican National Committee Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar.
“They don’t have the cash or resources that Republicans have, which is why they are turning to antisemitic dark money from a billionaire.”
An analysis by The Washington Post found that George Soros currently ranks as the largest individual donor of the 2026 midterm election cycle, outpacing dozens of other major political contributors.
Born to a Jewish family in Budapest, Soros survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary before relocating to the United Kingdom. He later founded a hedge fund and earned worldwide recognition after making approximately $1 billion betting against the British pound during the 1992 financial crisis known as “Black Wednesday.”
Hungary enacted its controversial “Stop Soros” legislation in 2018, prompting the Open Society Foundation to relocate its European headquarters to another country.
Alex Soros, a graduate of New York University, married longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin in a high-profile Hamptons ceremony last summer. The guest list included Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, as well as Bill and Hillary Clinton.
