A group funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundations (now run by his son Alex) is coming to the help of Democrats looking to turn Texas into a purple state at a minimum, but preferably a blue one, which would effectively make it impossible for Republicans to win presidential elections.
As the Daily Caller’s Robert Schmad reported:
Soros, working with the Texas Majority PAC, donated six-figure sums to the Democratic parties of Hidalgo, Cameron and Dallas counties, all of which are plurality or majority Hispanic, the Texas Tribune reported. Soros’ spending comes as Democrats have lost ground nationally and in Texas with Latino voters.
Hidalgo and Cameron counties were among the places where Republicans gained the most ground between the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. Hidalgo County moved 24 points to the right between the two elections, and Cameron County shifted toward Republicans by 20 points, according to The New York Times.
Hidalgo County is 92.5% Hispanic, and Cameron County is 89.8% Hispanic, according to the Census Bureau. Both counties are located in south Texas and border Mexico. While Dallas County, which is 41.5% Hispanic according to the Census Bureau, got marginally bluer between 2016 and 2020, Latino areas in the southeast and southwest of the county became more Republican, according to a comparison of racial and electoral maps produced by The New York Times.
Soros has had immense success in degrading law and order in America by going local and backing fringe district attorneys (or their equivalent) with millions of dollars, but he’s had much more mixed record in presidential politics, having spent millions backing the likes of John Kerry and Hillary Clinton.
Biden has been bleeding support from all demographics, including Hispanic voters. While Biden had a 7-point lead with Hispanic voters over Trump in October of last year, it completely vanished and then reversed by December to a 5-point lead in Trump’s favor.
