Soros Group Gives $60 Million to Super PAC That Boosts Democrats
- Donation is second largest in the presidential election cycle
- Democracy PAC gave $21 million to a dozen super PACs
A nonprofit founded and funded by billionaire George Soros donated $60 million in January to Democracy PAC, a super political action committee he uses to support Democrats, according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission.
Democracy PAC spread $21 million to a dozen super PACs in the first quarter, including $4 million donations to both the House Majority PAC and the Senate Majority PAC, which support congressional Democrats. It gave $2.5 million to Planned Parenthood Votes, and the same amount to Black PAC, which engages with Black voters to elect candidates in down-ballot races, including governors, attorney generals and lawmakers, according to its website.
