Kamala Harris’s running mate Gov. Tim Walz (Minn.) received flak on social media for visiting Alex Soros, the son of Democrat megadonor George Soros, at his luxury Manhattan apartment on Tuesday.
“Honored to host Governor @Tim_Walz at my home in New York City!” Soros, his dad’s successor at the multibillion-dollar Open Society Foundations (OSF), posted on X with photos alongside Walz in front of the New York City skyline.

The Minnesota governor’s visit at the ritzy locale for a one-on-one meeting with the globalist scion was panned by conservatives as tone-deaf and out of touch given Walz’s political shtick has been about connecting with rural middle-class Americans.
“If you squint, you can see the strings on the marionette,” former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said on X.

A post like this does nothing to help Kamala Harris & Tim Walz win — if anything, it hurts them. So why would Soros post something like this? To publicly signal his power & influence within the next would-be presidential administration. https://t.co/MUOBERqWfG

This guy goes around saying he's a small town midwestern guy who understands the struggles of the middle class and then goes to hang out at the floating home in the sky of the world's biggest billionaire nepo baby. https://t.co/QTzyoQwPL9

This marks the second time Walz visited Alex Soros in the last month.
Soros in August posted photos of him and his new fiancée, former Hillary Clinton confidante Huma Abedin, palling around with Harris’s VP pick.

Walz’s decision to court Alex Soros is bold given his father considered to be one of the most polarizing progressive figures in American politics and often makes headlines for implementing his far-left agenda in numerous spheres of society, including bankrolling the campaigns of soft-on-crime DAs, violent groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter, open-border NGOs, online censorship groups, and more recently buying up hundreds of radio stations ahead of the 2024 election.
