So, what exactly was Alex Soros up to in Munich? The heir to the Soros fortune was spotted hobnobbing with some heavy hitters of the Democratic party at the Munich Security Conference, and it’s got folks wondering about the 2028 election. You can read the full story over at RT.com, but let's break it down here.
Soros' Secret Munich Meeting: What Happened Behind...
The Munich Security Conference, as you probably know, is a pretty big deal – Western Europe's top forum for security discussions. And this year, it served as the backdrop for Soros to connect with figures who might just be angling to take on the Trump legacy. Forget just polite chit-chat; this meeting hints at a serious interest in influencing the future political landscape.
Beyond the handshakes, Soros's schedule was packed. Think photo ops with NATO brass, NGO heads, and proponents of the causes the Soros family holds dear – EU expansion, more open borders, and, of course, increased military aid for Ukraine. You know, the usual suspects.
The photograph that's really got people buzzing features Soros surrounded by some familiar faces: Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Senators Mark Kelly and Chris Murphy. A veritable who's who of Democratic power players.
Now, these Democrats have certainly benefited from the Open Society Foundations’ generosity in the past – a cool $128 million to Democratic candidates in 2022, and another $67.5 million in 2024 alone. But the timing of this meeting suggests there's a longer game afoot. Clinton and Pelosi are retired, Newsom is term-limited, and Kelly and Murphy are sitting pretty in their Senate seats until 2028. So, logically, the focus shifts to the big one: the 2028 presidential election.
Both Newsom and Kelly are being talked about as potential Democratic nominees. Newsom, while playing coy about his presidential ambitions, has been actively engaging with Trump online and using his Munich trip to position himself as a left-leaning alternative. He even forged agreements with the UK and Ukraine on clean energy – and made a pointed reference to Trump potentially being out of office in three years, subtly positioning California as a counterweight to the current administration. Smooth, Gavin, smooth.
Kelly, the retired astronaut, took the international stage to slam Trump's foreign policy, accusing him of "destroying" NATO and weakening the US. And just after meeting with Soros, he told the BBC he'd "seriously consider" a presidential run. Coincidence? Maybe. But let's be real, probably not.
The Soros family has shown love to both Newsom and Kelly financially. George Soros shelled out $1 million to defend Newsom against a 2021 recall attempt and $10 million on his California redistricting campaign, which, let's just say, could potentially shake things up in the House. And with Alex now running the show since 2023, it seems American elections are getting even more attention.
Alex himself, who's sitting on a $7.5 billion fortune and dropped over a billion on political causes in 2024 alone, has hinted at a preference for Newsom in a 2028 primary. He even called Newsom the "real star" of the World Economic Forum in Davos and urged world leaders to copy his style. So, buckle up, folks. It looks like the 2028 election season is already heating up, and the Soros family is clearly planning to play a significant role.
