Democrat megadonor George Soros is throwing his considerable wealth behind Kamala Harris now that President Joe Biden has dropped out. His millennial son, to whom the 93-year-old entrusted the running of his $25 billion charitable foundation, urged the party to rally behind Biden’s vice-president at the top of the ticket. This would effectively avoid speed-running an open contest for the nomination with barely more than 100 days left until the Nov. 5 election.
Main Idea: George Soros and his son Alex are backing Kamala Harris after Joe Biden dropped out, while some party rivals have also lined up behind her.
Key Points:
Big donor support for Kamala Harris could make some voters feel the Democratic race is being shaped by wealthy elites, which may lower trust in the process.
A strong Harris campaign could boost voter turnout and keep the election more competitive, giving households and small businesses more clarity on future policy.
