The Godfather Returns: George Soros Is Top Midterm Donor with $102M Cash Dump So Far
If you thought Elon Musk would take the top spot as the 2026 midterm donor, think again. The Godfather of the Left, George Soros, is back to his old bag of tricks with another major cash dump to swing the pendulum of legislative power back to the left.
The Washington Post reported June 25 that Soros had taken the title as the 2026 midterms' largest donor, with a whopping $102 million poured so far into his political cash cow — Democracy PAC — ahead of the November election.
The news comes after it was reported in April that Soros kicked off his 2026 spending with $50 million. The level of Soros' expenditures signals that the 95-year-old leftist billionaire isn’t exactly riding off into the sunset for retirement despite formally handing control over his multibillion-dollar philanthropic empire to his more radical son Alex. In fact, the elder Soros has proven beyond any doubt that he has no intention of ceasing his attempts to buy political outcomes that comport with his utopian ideals.
Ironically, it was The Post itself that stipulated in 2018 that “[R]ather than recede from public life in his twilight years, Soros has decided to push even harder for his agenda.” That’s as true now as it was then. During the 2022 midterms, Soros also took the mantle as top dog in the political donor class by pouring over $178 million into blunting the GOP’s push to retake control of Congress with an electoral mandate. It appears he’s not keen on letting anyone else be the midterm spending king this time around, even with an opponent like Musk in the picture.
But Soros’ political campaign spending is only a microcosm of the plethora of leftist agenda items that Soros has fueled with his cash.
From a holistic perspective, Soros has pumped billions of his wealth into an obsessive vendetta undergirded by global governance, open borders, financing pro-terror causes, electing and controlling soft-on-crime prosecutors, gaining extraordinary influence within the information media ecosystem, and backing extremist political groups dedicated to crushing American exceptionalism and capitalism.
Though Alex is the designated crown prince of his empire, the elder Soros is not going away anytime soon. He will continue to bend “the arc of history” as long as he's able to do so.
