Billionaire Democratic donor George Soros has contributed approximately $102 million to Democracy PAC during the 2026 election cycle, with the money ultimately supporting Democratic-aligned political groups and candidates.

The contributions primarily came through Geosor Corp., a private investment company owned by Soros, and the Fund for Policy Reform, a nonprofit connected to his Open Society Foundations. About $793,800 of the $102.8 million attributed to Soros and his political network was given directly in his name, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission records.

Democracy PAC, which Soros founded in 2019 and is now controlled by his son Alex Soros, has distributed tens of millions of dollars to Democratic-aligned groups involved in Senate, House, and state-level races.

The spending makes Soros one of the biggest financial players in the 2026 midterms. A Washington Post analysis of FEC data placed Soros at the top of its individual-donor rankings with $102 million, ahead of Republican-aligned donors Jeff and Janine Yass at $95.3 million and venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz at $91.3 million.

Soros has a long history of funding Democratic and progressive political causes. He contributed about $128 million during the 2022 midterm cycle, according to OpenSecrets data cited in recent reporting.

Soros has long faced criticism and controversy over the political causes he funds. Critics, particularly on the right, have accused him of using his wealth to support progressive prosecutors, soft-on-crime policies, and left-leaning organizations that they argue have contributed to rising crime, open-border policies, and social unrest in multiple cities. Those criticisms intensified in recent election cycles as his network’s spending on district attorneys and criminal-justice initiatives drew national attention.

The 2026 election cycle is also the first congressional cycle since Soros transferred control of his political operation to Alex Soros in 2023, placing the younger Soros in charge of one of the Democratic Party's largest networks of wealthy political donors.

The scale of the spending highlights the enormous sums being deployed by wealthy individuals and political organizations ahead of the November midterms, with both parties relying heavily on super PACs and other outside groups to influence competitive races.
