George Soros’s son and the heir to his liberal empire, Alex Soros, quickly threw his support behind Kamala Harris to be the next president of the United States after President Biden dropped out of the race.
“It’s time for us all to unite around Kamala Harris and beat Donald Trump,” Alex Soros said in a social media post.
“She is the best and most qualified candidate we have. Long live the American Dream.”
The endorsement comes after President Biden said Sunday he was dropping out of the presidential race and endorsed his running-mate to take his place.
Alex Soros, 38, has immense sway in Democratic circles considering his billionaire father is a prolific donor for Democratic and other lefty causes. The elder Soros has built up the philanthropic organizations, Open Society Foundations, since the 1970s.
Alex Soros previously backed Biden amid calls for the 81-year-old commander in chief to leave the race.
He commended Biden on Sunday following the president’s departure from the 2024 presidential election — which would hae been a rematch against former President Donald Trump.
“Joe Biden is a patriot, a man who has always worked to unite America and stand for the dignity and well being of all Americans,” Alex Soros wrote.
“He has done more in four years than most could dream to accomplish in eight. He will be remembered as an American hero because he is.”
Soros quietly got engaged to Huma Abedin — former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s ex — earlier this year, Page Sixfirst reported this month.
Abedin is a longtime confidante of 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
