Alex Soros, son of billionaire financier George Soros, met with senior Democrats shortly after taking the reins of the powerful Open Society Foundations (OSF), continuing his long-standing trend of meeting privately with influential politicians and publish the meetings publicly.
The meeting appears to be his first with federal lawmakers since he took control of his father’s robust multibillion-dollar nonprofit network that injects large sums into leftist efforts.
On June 11, OSF announced that Alex would take over the network after the elder Soros did not want to hand it over to any of his children. George, however, finally said, “He’s earned it.”
Days after the announcement, Alex hosted an event in New York with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other Empire State Democrats, including Reps. Jerry Nadler and Gregory Meeks, according to an Instagram post .

“In a New York minute to host different New York members for hmp with [Rep. Hakeem Jeffries] and members of the New York House delegation, [Rep. Pat Ryan, Rep. Jerry Nadler, Rep. Gregory Meeks, Rep. Ritchie Torres] in his quest to get his back [sic] most of 2024! And always supporting the sneaker caucus!” Alex wrote on June 17.

Alex’s social media profiles have dozens of pictures of him and top House and Senate Democrats from 2018. The two most featured are Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of California. Alex had at least nine meetings with Schumer, whom he referred to as his “good friend.”
Alex had at least eight visits with Pelosi, calling her the “greatest Speaker of the House in American history!”

Weeks ago, he posted a photo with Vice President Kamala Harris, writing, “Great to catch up with the Vice President recently, [Kamala Harris]!”
Alex has enjoyed wide access to the Biden White House and seems to be keeping the hotline as he now heads one of America’s most prominent liberal foundations. After handing over control, George said they “think alike”, but Alex pointed out that he is “more political”.

Alex has visited the White House at least 17 times since 2021, according to a previous Fox News Digital review of visitor records. His most recent visits included three meetings between February 8 and 10, and the record list Jon Finer, the senior deputy national security adviser; Jordan Finkelstein, special assistant to the president and chief of staff to senior Biden adviser Anita Dunn; and Mariana Adame, the adviser to the president’s advisor, as those who greet Àlex.

Although these people are listed in the records, it is still unclear who he met with for the sessions. The documents may contain White House staff making appointments, meeting with guests and taking them to other staff members, ultimately hiding the intended host.

For example, a White House official confirmed to Fox News Digital in January that two of Alex’s previous visits were with Ron Klain, Biden’s former chief of staff, who was not listed in the records. OSF did not respond to earlier questions about the nature of its meetings, and the White House did not respond to an inquiry.
Alex has also given millions to Democrats in recent years, though far less than his father. Since the 2018 election, Alex has poured more than $5 million into federal political coffers. Records show his largest contribution was $2 million to the Schumer-aligned Senate Majority PAC during that time.

Alex pushed more than $700,000 into the Biden Victory Fund in 2020, making him one of its top donors. He has provided hundreds of thousands in additional cash to the Nancy Pelosi Victory Fund, the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). He has also given tens of thousands more to state Democratic parties and individual campaigns, many of which were maximum contributions.
Alex, now 37, tried to differentiate himself from his father in his 20s as a Ph.D. student at UC Berkeley with the creation of the Alexander Soros Foundation.

“If I don’t make it, then I’m just another lazy trust fund kid,” he told The New York Times in 2012. The nonprofit seems to be more of an afterthought.
An OSF spokesman did not respond to a request for comment about Alex’s meetings with Democratic lawmakers.
