‘Money out of politics’ candidate Abdul El-Sayed set to fundraise with George Soros’ nephew in California

Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who is campaigning on getting "money out of politics," will attend a fundraiser at the West Hollywood home of billionaire George Soros’ nephew.

Jeffrey Soros, a California film producer, and his wife, Catharine Soros, will host a meet-and-greet alongside former Obama advisors and "Pod Save America" hosts Jon Favreau, Tom Vietor and Ben Rhodes, as well as other Hollywood figures, on Sept. 28, 2026, according to a flyer obtained by Punchbowl News. The flyer noted that each guest can donate up to $57,800 to the Abdul for Michigan Victory Fund.

The out-of-state big-money fundraiser comes as El-Sayed has repeatedly criticized the influence of corporations and billionaires in politics. At a previous campaign event, El-Sayed said billionaires couldn't tell him what else they could actually buy beyond $100 million other than political power.

The event will put El-Sayed alongside relatives of billionaire George Soros, who has for decades used his wealth to support political causes and campaigns, including prosecutors who have advocated for bail reform and eliminating mandatory minimum prison sentences.

Open Society Foundations, the philanthropy founded by George Soros, gave the American Civil Liberties Union a $50 million grant for a nationwide criminal justice reform campaign and a $3 million grant to the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law to fund anti-gerrymandering lawsuits and litigation against states with "restrictive" voting laws.

It is unclear whether George Soros will attend El-Sayed's fundraiser. Fox News Digital reached out to Open Society Foundations for comment.

Jeffrey Soros is the son of Paul and Daisy Soros, who were philanthropists. Paul Soros was George Soros’ older brother. The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans supports immigrants and children of immigrants pursuing graduate education in the United States.

“Money out of politics” == We get our money from politics, not by producing anything.

Even Trump is afraid of shutting down the Soroznazi subversion racket.

It’s such an obvious thing USA’s needed to do for years and years.

Not one President. Not one attorney general. Nobody even whispers about doing it.

America is doomed

That is a good point. He went after Iran but not the Sores.

To his credit, he went after Iran. He’s a smart fellow, he recognized the Iranian nuke- USA threat was/ is very real and dangerous.

But he’s not finished the job. So we are stuck with this LOSING, pussy- footing, tit- for- tat, empty threats, walk loudly but carry a teeny- weeny stick, bullsheit game, instead .

It appears headed to
Lose the midterms and— once the DNC gets into power again — they’ll never ever let go of it.

Yes it is true, if the rats get control again they will weld the door shut. They almost did it in 21 but fell 2 votes short when Manchin and Sinema said no. That will not happen again.
