Alex Soros, Son Of George Soros, Endorses Kamala Harris

Alex Soros, the son of prominent Democratic donor George Soros, has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris following President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from the 2024 race.

The 38-year-old Soros called on Democrats to unite behind Harris, referring to her as "the best and most qualified candidate we have."

Alex Soros, who recently took over his father's $25 billion investment company, holds significant influence within the Democratic Party due to his family's political and philanthropic contributions.

With Biden's sudden exit from the race, Harris' candidacy has gained substantial momentum, bolstered further by Soros' endorsement this week.

In his statement, Soros praised Biden for his governmental achievements, calling him "an American hero" and "a patriot." He also commended Biden for his decision to step down and support Harris, his former running mate.

The Soros family's support for Harris in her bid for the presidency marks a significant shift in the political landscape. According to the New York Post, progressive funders and activists, who have long valued the Soros family's commitment to social justice causes, are likely to back this move.

On Friday morning, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama endorsed Harris as well.

In a video shared on social media, the Obamas expressed their support for Harris.

"I can’t have this phone call without saying to my girl Kamala: I am proud of you. This is going to be historic,” Michelle Obama said.

“We called to say Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,” former President Obama added.

The former president also described Harris as a "happy warrior."

“It’s time for us to rally around you, your candidacy. This is not on you, it’s not just on you and Doug, it’s on all of us. … We’ve got to register, we’ve got to vote. … So, let’s all roll up our sleeves and make it happen,” Michelle Obama said.

WATCH:

A recent survey has brought good news for former President Donald Trump, just days after Biden withdrew from the race and endorsed Harris.

According to a CNN survey, 49 percent of respondents supported Trump, while 46 percent backed Harris. The poll was conducted by SSRS.

The poll took place between July 22-23, shortly after Biden announced his decision to exit the race. It surveyed registered voters who had participated in previous CNN surveys in April and June, where Trump was leading Biden by 6 points.

According to Newsmax, the poll found:

• 64% said Republicans have a better chance of winning the presidency in 2024 if Trump is the party’s nominee.
• 50% said their vote is more in support of Harris than against Trump, compared to 37% of Biden’s supporters who said their vote was mainly to express support for the president.
• 74% said their vote is to express support for Trump rather than their opposition to Harris.
• Among Harris supporters younger than 45, 43% say their vote is more in support of her than against Trump, up from 28% of Biden voters in that age group who felt the same way about the president in June.
• Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters are split over whether the next nominee should continue Biden’s policies (53%) or take the country in a new direction (47%).
• 88% of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters say Republicans have a better chance to win with Trump at the top of the ticket.

Fox News host Sean Hannity said during a Monday show segment that Harris is most guilty of covering for Biden during their nearly four-year term as his mental health and acuity declined.

The segment featured Dr. Ronny Jackson, a former White House physician and now GOP congressman from Texas, who knew Biden well while serving as then-President Barack Obama’s personal doctor. It also included longtime journalist Charlie Hurt, who directly blamed Harris for concealing Biden’s condition from the country for years.
