Rich Americans spent big this midterm season to impact down-ballot races for their candidates of choice.
The 2022 midterm election cycle has seen a boom in spending in the lead-up to Election Day. Research group OpenSecrets estimates that federal election spending increased by nearly $2 billion compared to 2018.
Even more eye-popping, 10 wealthy individuals poured $540 million combined into this year’s elections, according to campaign finance data from OpenSecrets.
These mega-donors are giving most of their money to outside groups such as super PACs that can raise and spend unlimited sums on election ads.
Roughly 62 percent of their donations boosted Republicans, who have received far more support than Democrats from big money groups leading up to November, a reversal from recent elections where wealthy donors favored Democrats.
Here are the 10 largest donors in the midterms, according to the most recent Federal Election Commission filings compiled by OpenSecrets:
George Soros Total donations: $128.5M
Affiliation: Democrat
Richard Uihlein Total donations: $80.7M
Affiliation: Republican
Kenneth Griffin Total donations: $68.6M

Jeff Yass Total donations: $47.3M

Timothy Mellon Total donations: $40M

Piggy Soros looks like he’s trying to buy the government. Friggin’ Nazi.
And of course the MSM won’t tell you this, cause the MSM GETS MUCH OF THE $$$. So self serving.
I wish my company would dump SalesForce and migrate to Oracle. SalesForce should be dumped into a Dolphin tank at Seaworld.
I love to see Soros waste his money.
I cannot imagine the security this guy buys and has most of my life…I’m 68. Some folks are just too evil and mean to die, even disease and germs avoid them.
Well our totals are higher!!
That’s just what shows up on the radar screen for soroz
Yeah. I’m sure ghe Open Borders Society dumps much more into their efforts.
Soroz does a lot of bottom fishing too.
He can buy 3-4 secretarys of state, a few attys general & dozens of prosecuting attys for what on US congressman goes for.
7 out of 10 support Republibicans
Hooaa!
It is all cash, super duper payola for the local stations..
“. . . life…I’m 68. . . .”
I have read that only 8 in 100 in the world live beyond age 65.
I’d bet a good chunk of Soros money is going to DAs
Larry Ellison used to be a Dem but I know he backed Trump twice.
Do they give this money hoping it will change the results, or so the politicians owe them?
Soros pay off antifa to riot and burn down cities, pays off mayors, police chiefs and district attorneys. He should have been taken out decades ago.
I wish we could give Gyorgy a free helicopter ride, courtesy of Augusto Pinochet.
Yeah. I’m sure ghe Open Borders Society dumps much more into their efforts
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
From what I’ve read, he’s got 100’s of NGO’s scattered around the world including UKE & Myanmar.
They prolly get a chunk of their funding from places like USAID & US State Dept ( that’s prolly a big reason the hildabeast became so powerful as SoS & another reason the CF & CGI were brimming with $$$ from their own vig or kick back shake down schemes)
All these no bail DAs are on his payroll.
They have access to medical resources you probably cannot get...believe it.
