Alex Soros admits Trump was a ‘super candidate’ – Washington Examiner
Alex Soros, son of Democratic megadonor George Soros, has commented on Donald Trump’s recent electoral success, referring to him as a “super candidate” that the Democratic Party underestimated. This remark comes in the wake of Trump’s victory, which saw the GOP reclaiming the White House and Senate while holding its majority in the House. Alex Soros criticized fellow Democrats for focusing on internal campaign strategy debates instead of recognizing Trump’s broad appeal, which potentially transcends traditional political boundaries. His insights were shared through a quote-tweet referencing GOP strategist Alex Stroman, who emphasized the significance of candidates in elections and acknowledged Trump’s distinct electoral prowess. The Soros family invested over $60 million in the 2024 election cycle, which highlights their commitment to Democratic causes.
Alex Soros admits Trump was a ‘super candidate’
One Democratic megadonor is trying to explain President-elect Donald Trump’s victory last week as a result of him being a “super candidate” the party underestimated.
Alex Soros, the son of Democratic megadonor George Soros, was the latest person to try to explain what led to the GOP recapturing the White House and Senate while maintaining their majority in the House.
“Too many Democrats are fighting each other over campaign tactics because it is easier than accepting that Trump was underestimated as a candidate,” Soros wrote. “He was a ‘super candidate’ with increasing appeal to a broader electorate, likely beyond the reach of both Democrats and Republicans.”
Soros was quote-tweeting a post about whether Republicans should become more like Trump, who outperformed many Republicans down-ballot. He got the “super candidate” line from GOP strategist Alex Stroman, who said in full, “Candidates matter, and that’s the most important thing. Donald Trump is a super candidate and is finally maybe getting recognition for that.”
Alex Soros and his father spent more than $60 million on the 2024 election and endorsed President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in their presidential bids, “Whether Trump gets elected or not —everything else doesn’t matter,” Alex said before the election.
Then Trump won in an unexpected manner. He beat Harris 312 to 226 in the Electoral College and won the popular vote for the first time in any of his three runs.
His win sent Democrats scrambling for explanations. Some blamed Harris for not appearing on popular podcast host Joe Rogan’s show, while others thought the party as a whole missed on working-class voters.
But Trump outperformed his own party along with Democrats. He beat the GOP’s Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin Senate candidates in votes. While Republicans still took majorities in the House and Senate, it was by less than Trump’s surge would seemingly indicate.
Alex Soros and many other Democratic donors have dealt with losing millions in donations toward Harris’s failed presidential bid, which blew through hundreds of millions of dollars and remains in debt.
Trump will take office in January 2025.
