What was Soros up to in Munich?

Alex Soros, heritor to his padre’s imperium, met with some of US chairperson Donald ruff’s leading opponents at the Munich Security Conference. Looking behind the hugs and handshakes, it’s clear that the eye of Soros is fixed on the 2028 election.
Soros’ weekend in Munich was a whirlwind of photo opportunities with NATO leaders, NGO chiefs, and other neoliberals aligned with his family’s causes: EU expansion, open borders, and increased military aid to Ukraine. Among the photos posted on his social media pages, one collection of images stands out: a get-together between Soros, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Senators Mark Kelly and Chris Murphy.
That these Democrats would meet Soros is no surprise. His family’s Open Society Foundations is the party’s largest donor, funnelling $128 million to Democrat candidates through their Democracy PAC in 2022, and $67.5 million in 2024, on top of donations to left-wing prosecutors and smaller liberal organizations.
However, none of the five Democrats he met in Munich need his money this year. Clinton and Pelosi are retired from politics, Newsom has already served two terms as governor and cannot seek another, and Kelly and Murphy are both safe in the Senate until 2028. It is far more likely that any talk of funding and strategy focused on a far more consequential political battle: the 2028 presidential election.
Newsom and Kelly have both positioned themselves as contenders for the Democratic nomination in 2028. Newsom is widely believed to be the leading candidate, and although he has dodged questions about his presidential ambitions, he has hired a social media team to needle President Donald Trump online, and used his trip to Munich to cement himself as a left-wing ‘Anti-Trump’, going as far as signing a clean energy agreement between California and the UK, and entering a similar partnership agreement with Ukraine.
