There’s a reason that far-left billionaire activist George Soros and his maybe-even-farther-left son, Alex Soros are among the most dangerous figures on the political left. The Soros organizations control billions of dollars, they wield a great deal of influence over liberal and progressive politicians, and worst of all, they aren’t stupid.
It’s common enough for folks at any spot on the political spectrum to assume their opposition holds their leftist views because they are ignorant or just plain dumb, but that’s not always the case – and Alex Soros, heir to the Soros fortune and organization, is no dummy. Recently he weighed in on the election victory of President-elect Donald Trump, and he’s hitting close to the mark:
The son of far-left Democratic billionaire kingmaker George Soros said President-elect Donald Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris because he’s a “super candidate” his party underrated.
“Too many Democrats are fighting each other over campaign tactics because it is easier than accepting that Trump was underestimated as a candidate,” Alex Soros, 39, wrote on X Friday.
“He was a ‘super candidate’ with increasing appeal to a broader electorate — likely beyond the reach of both Democrats and Republicans.
What Alex Soros doesn’t seem to get is the fact that the far-left policy positions put out by the Harris/Walz campaign – inasmuch as they put forth any policy positions at all – cost the Democratic candidates as much as Donald Trump’s super-candidate, crossover appeal helped the Trump/Vance campaign. Most Americans don’t want boys playing on their daughter’s school sports teams, or sharing their daughters’ locker rooms. Most Americans are tired of the unending influx of illegal immigrants, and the societal burdens and crime that come along with it.
Even so, he’s not wrong about Trump; he correctly identifies a big reason for Trump’s appeal, and what’s more, he has been aware of this for some time.

Now, with the election behind us, we see that, yes, Soros has a pretty good idea of what happened. He is correct about one primary thing: the Left badly underestimated Donald Trump, his campaign, and his appeal to a wide range of Americans. Donald Trump increased his vote share in many demographics, and he increased his share of the vote over the 2020 election in 49 states; he only lost New Jersey by five points! The very fact that Soros looked at the election and made a dispassionate and generally accurate estimate of what happened is a problem because that estimate will drive his efforts to mess with our next election in 2026.
And make no mistake: The senior Soros is still very much involved as well.

It isn’t an exaggeration to state that George and Alex Soros are enemies of liberty. They are to the left of the bulk of even most of today’s Democrats, and they have plenty of cash to dump into candidates’ campaigns and policies that they want to see in place. The fact that they seem to also have some insights into how/why elections can be won, just makes them all the more troublesome.
A good rule of thumb in American politics, at least where policy is concerned: If the Soros clan favors a policy or a candidate, then that policy or candidate is bad for America.
