Billionaire Philanthropist George Soros Poised to Break Own Spending Record in Midterm Elections. As the November midterm elections draw near, speculation is growing that George Soros, the liberal financier and philanthropist, may break his own record for single-year spending. In the 2018 midterms, Soros poured a staggering $128 million into various Democratic and progressive causes, outpacing all other donors. With the current elections still over four months away, Soros's Open Society Foundations and other affiliated entities are reportedly gearing up to make significant contributions, potentially exceeding his previous record and injecting a massive influx of cash into the electoral landscape.
With the November midterm elections still more than four months away, George Soros could shatter his own spending record of $128 million set during the last midterms four years ago, when he was the biggest single donor.
