ft: alex soros interview - next generation  > alex soros is, like his father, a major figure on the left in america (a radical nepo baby to his republican opponents). he and his father were some of the largest donors to the kamala harris campaign; they spent more than $85mn in the 2024 election cycle. some might say he is the elon musk of the liberals, but one who lost an expensive bet. > trump had a sort of fixation with his father and other new york wealthy families because he wanted to be part of that club  or maybe take it down. > soros refuses to accept that history is turning and that democratic regression is inevitable. trump represents everything we dont believe in but i would push back on the nostalgia. > he admits to feeling some rare end of history moments, such as the election of barack obama, which led some people to think that the fight against racism in america had been won. and next came gay rights, and i remember walking down the street in rome, seeing the american embassy with a rainbow flag, and just thinking how proud i was of my country. > conversation turns more personal, and i ask him about his recent engagement to huma abedin, former aide to hillary clinton who was married to disgraced former democratic congressman anthony weiner
