Left-wing megadonor George Soros has struck again. This time, with a massive check to help California Democrats rewrite congressional maps in their favor.
According to Politico:
“Progressive megadonor George Soros has given $10 million to boost Gov. Gavin Newsom’s redistricting campaign as Democrats continue to raise huge sums from reliable allies. The donation from Soros, first reported by the New York Times, is the single largest for Proposition 50 to date.”
The cash infusion adds to a staggering war chest of over $70 million as Democrats scramble to pass Proposition 50, which could drive out as many as half a dozen Republicans while shoring up vulnerable Democratic incumbents.
Fox News noted that Soros’s involvement is part of a bigger national strategy:
“Billionaire left-wing donor George Soros contributed $10 million to California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ballot initiative to redistrict the state… Soros, who has helped fund left-wing campaigns stretching from district attorneys to federal elections, contributed the single largest donation amount to Newsom’s effort to redraw the state’s congressional lines.”.
This is not Soros’s first major play in California. As Politico reminded readers:
“Soros is a longstanding benefactor for the left… He has poured millions into California politics in recent years, spending $1 million to help shield Newsom from a 2021 recall attempt and working to elect progressive prosecutors who embraced lighter sentencing and tougher police accountability.”
Newsom has openly pitched the ballot measure as a counter to GOP redistricting in states like Texas:
“We’ll pick up five seats with the consent of the people. And that’s the difference between the approach we’re taking and the approach they’re taking,” Newsom declared in August. “We’re doing it on a temporary basis. We’re doing it in a fully transparent way, and we’re doing it by asking the people of the state of California for their consent and support.”
But what Democrats call “consent” looks like raw gerrymandering to everyone else. The scheme mirrors Soros’s broader playbook: flood states with dark money to tilt the playing field and weaken political opponents.
And it has not gone unnoticed. As Politico observed:
“His latest donation is likely to harden the fault lines in a race that has already become a highly partisan national fight. Republicans have long cast Soros as a malignant force, often using conspiratorial rhetoric to denounce his influence.”
President Trump himself has repeatedly warned about Soros’s influence:
“‘Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you!’ Trump wrote on Truth Social in August.”
With Soros bankrolling the effort, California Democrats are pushing ahead full steam. The ballot fight in November is not just about California’s maps; it’s about whether one billionaire can re-engineer the political balance of Congress with his checkbook.
