Alex Soros, the son of billionaire Democratic donor George Soros, has thrown his support behind Kamala Harris for US president following Joe Biden’s decision to drop out of the 2024 race ahead of the November election.
In a social media post, the 38-year-old Soros called on Democrats to unite behind Harris, whom he called “the best and most qualified candidate we have.” Alex, who recently took over his father’s $25 billion investment empire, has a major influence within the Democratic party due to his family’s philanthropic and political aid.
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 pic.twitter.com/KG09YnWHZK— Alex Soros (@AlexanderSoros) July 21, 2024
Junior Soros’ endorsement this week was a major boost to Harris’ campaign, which has gained momentum since Biden’s surprise announcement on Sunday. In his statement, Soros praised Biden as “a patriot” and “an American hero” for his accomplishments in office. He also commended the president for his decision to step aside and endorse Harris, his former running mate.
The endorsement marks a significant shift in the political landscape, with the Soros family throwing its weight behind Harris in her bid to become the next American president. According to the New York Post, the move is likely to attract further support from progressive donors and activists who have long admired the Soros family’s commitment to social justice causes.
Harris, who served as Biden’s vice president for the past four years, has positioned herself as a unifying figure within the Democratic party. Her campaign has focused on issues such as healthcare reform, climate change, and racial equality, which align with the Soros family’s priorities.
As the US presidential race heats up, the support from the Soros family will prove to be a boost to Harris’ campaign. With the backing of the Soros family and its Open Society Foundations, Harris is poised to mount a formidable challenge to her Republican opponent Donald Trump.
