Alex Soros, the son of billionaire philanthropist George Soros, hosted Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz at his New York City home, marking their second meeting within a month. This gathering coincided with the United Nations General Assembly, emphasizing Soros's growing political influence since taking over his father's $25 billion empire. Soros has been actively supporting left-leaning causes, contributing millions to Democratic campaigns, including over $700,000 to the Biden Victory Fund in 2020. Tim Walz, who is perceived as a 'regular guy' and potentially the least wealthy vice presidential candidate, has been seen cultivating connections with high-profile Democratic figures, including Kamala Harris. The fundraiser at Soros's residence underscores the blending of political fundraising and elite social interactions in the current election cycle. As Alex Soros navigates his new role, he aims to expand the family's philanthropic focus to include issues like voting rights and gender equality.
