On Monday, leftist billionaire George Soros, who has spent millions attempting to turn the conservative bastion of Texas blue, will launch a new initiative called “Blue Texas” as part of the efforts of Texas Majority PAC.
Blue Texas is aiming to recruit candidates and volunteers in conjunction with Texas’ state and county Democratic parties. “If a win is on the table in 2026, we don’t want to leave it there by not being organized,” Katherine Fischer, deputy executive director of Texas Majority PAC, declared. “There is no choice for Texas or for anyone else in the country who wants to see a Democrat in the White House after 2032 but to find a pathway through Texas.”
“Soros, the billionaire investor and philanthropist, has devoted millions to turning Texas blue in the past and donated $2.1 million to Texas Majority in 2024 and $1 million in April, records show,” The Wall Street Journal noted. “Texas Majority, the Texas Democratic Party and the nearly dozen county parties under the Blue Texas alliance collectively spent about $35 million in the 2024 election cycle.” Organizers expect to raise even more money for 2026.
In the 2024 presidential election, President Trump crushed former Vice President Kamala Harris in Texas by almost 14 percentage points. The last Democrat president to win the state was Jimmy Carter in 1976; the last Democratic U.S. Senator from Texas was Lloyd Bentsen in 1988.
One possible target for Democrats is GOP Senator John Cornyn’s seat; he is being challenged in the GOP primary by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Polls show Democrat Colin Allred, who ran far better against GOP senator Ted Cruz than Harris did against Trump, is competitive with Paxton in a general election.
In 2022, Soros donated $50 million to an American leftist PAC shortly after the November 2022 elections. Soros donated the funds to Democracy PAC, whose president was his son, Alexander, a source who examined the PAC’s new Federal Elections Commission filing reported to POLITICO. That was in addition to the $125 million he gave the group in January 2022.
Soros invested tens of millions of dollars into getting progressive district attorneys elected in 75 cities across the United States, analysts with the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF) reported.
By late 2022, Soros had invested about $40 million over the past decade to elect dozens of progressive prosecutors, including many in the most populated U.S. cities. Soros-backed prosecutors represented one-fifth of all Americans, and they held office in half of the top 50 most populated U.S. cities and counties.
“Soros is using that campaign money and the hundreds of millions more for supporting organizations to quietly transform the criminal justice system for the worse, promoting dangerous policies and anti-police narratives to advance his radical agenda,” LELDF President Jason Johnson told The Washington Examiner, the first to publish the analysis.
“Over the past decade, George Soros has spent $40 million to elect 75 of his chosen prosecutors. In campaigns from Houston and Los Angeles to Philadelphia and Orlando, Soros was the campaign’s biggest spender by far — as much as 90% of the dollars spent in some races. Soros isn’t done yet — he’s already spent another million so far this year on his hand-picked district attorneys,” Johnson said.
