The Facts
Billionaire financier and philanthropist George Soros has announced a donation of $125 million to a pro-democracy PAC in the lead-up to the 2022 midterm elections.
Democracy PAC, founded by Soros in 2019, will "support causes and candidates, regardless of political party, who share a mission of protecting and strengthening the infrastructure of American democracy."
The Spin
Right narrative
Soros is doubling down on his efforts to help Democrats stay in power despite their low approval ratings and the dismal failures of Soros-backed incumbents whose policies have left America's cities beseiged by crime.
Left narrative
Americans are facing a sustained assault on democratic institutions and the rule of law, and Soros is investing in the people and party that have demonstrated a desire to protect them.
