George Soros ramped up his political spending this cycle through the Democracy PAC, which he created last year to pump large sums into the coffers of other left-wing groups.
New filings to the Federal Election Commission show the PAC doled out nearly $17 million last quarter, bringing its total cash disbursements this cycle to $48 million.
Soros gave another $4 million directly to Democratic campaigns and committees without first depositing the money into his PAC.
The $52 million cash influx is more than double Soros’s previous high of $22 million, which came during the last presidential election.
