Once again, leftist billionaire George Soros’s political machine has reared itself to wreak havoc. This time, it's stoking the flames of ongoing political turmoil taking place in Texas over the issue of redistricting.
The radical Texas Majority PAC, which has received millions in funding from Soros, has reportedly joined forces with a group led by failed gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke to pick up the costs incurred by the approximately 50 Democrat state representatives fleeing to avoid a vote in the state’s legislature on congressional redistricting.
The Soros-backed group in particular is “working with national fundraising groups to secure additional funds for the last-ditch delaying tactic,” according to Fox News. O’Rourke’s group, on the other hand, is “paying for airfare, lodging, and helping with the $500-per-day fines the lawmakers face for skipping legislative session.”
Soros pumped at least $8.3 million into Texas Majority PAC’s coffers between himself and his Democracy PAC II just between 2022 and 2025 alone, according to Texas campaign finance records.
Most of the state representative derelicts are reportedly taking refuge in the ironically “gerrymandered” Democratic stronghold of Illinois under Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL), according to the Daily Caller. Pritzker stated during a Tuesday press briefing that he wasn’t "reticent" to financially support the fleeing Texas Dems.
This is not the first time the Soros-funded Texas Majority PAC has tried to make a major splash in the Lone Star State as of late. The Wall Street Journal reported June 9 that the group was launching a “Blue Texas” initiative “along with the Texas Democratic Party and a group of county parties, aiming to organize tens of thousands of volunteers, recruit candidates and boost turnout” before the 2026 midterm elections. The Soros-backed group’s scheme involves working “with state and county parties to recruit candidates and sign up volunteers, starting with a series of organizing rallies in June. Organizers plan to visit more than two dozen cities in July to recruit candidates,” The Journal noted.
A massive redistricting overhaul of Texas would definitely foil the Soros machine’s plans to move the state firmly into the left-wing camp. No wonder it's doing whatever it can to stop it.
