Alex Soros, the heir to George Soros’s billion-dollar left-wing nonprofit empire and one of the largest donors to the failed Harris-Walz campaign, is downplaying Democrat losses in the 2024 U.S. elections by pointing to “unstoppable global forces” while ignoring failed Democrat policies for driving a decisive Republican win.
Following the crushing defeat of Democrats in the 2024 elections on Tuesday, Alex Soros — who, along with his father, were the top donors to Harris’ failed efforts, having contributed over $100 million — took to social media in an attempt to reframe the loss.
Rather than addressing policy issues, Soros claimed that Democrat setbacks were part of a larger global anti-incumbent trend, citing “economic and geopolitical factors” affecting all major democracies this year.
“Before you beat yourself up about the elections pls read this,” he wrote, pointing to a Financial Times analysis.
“The incumbents in every single one of the 10 major countries that have been tracked by the ParlGov global research project and held national elections in 2024 were given a kicking by voters,” he continued.
“This is the first time this has ever happened in almost 120 years of records,” he added.
Pointing to the Financial Times piece that tracked similar voter dissatisfaction in ten other countries, with economic strain and geopolitical turmoil as key factors, he hoped to draw a parallel between Democrats and conservative incumbents abroad.
While many factors contributed to the devastating election defeat, the essay suggests that the widespread discontent among voters that led to a Trump win was “locked in regardless of the messenger or the message,” and that no policies or leaders could have overcome the powerful global anti-incumbent wave driving voter discontent.
With Republicans triumphant, Americans have signaled they want accountability — not excuses — from their leaders.
