Soros’ Munich Meetings Spark 2028 Presidential Race Speculation
Throughout the conference, Soros appeared in numerous photographs alongside NATO officials, leaders of major non-governmental organizations, and policymakers who generally align with his family’s priorities, including European Union enlargement, liberal immigration policies, and expanded military backing for Ukraine. Among the images shared on his social media accounts, one particular gathering drew attention: a meeting that included Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Senators Mark Kelly and Chris Murphy.
The presence of these Democratic figures alongside Soros is consistent with longstanding financial ties. The Open Society Foundations, established by the Soros family, has for years been a significant financial supporter of Democratic candidates. In 2022, its affiliated Democracy PAC directed $128 million toward Democratic campaigns, followed by $67.5 million during the 2024 cycle, in addition to funding progressive prosecutors and various liberal advocacy groups.
Yet the immediate electoral calendar does not appear to explain these discussions. Clinton and Pelosi have stepped away from active political office. Newsom, having completed two terms as California’s governor, is barred from seeking another. Meanwhile, Kelly and Murphy both hold Senate seats secured until 2028, meaning neither faces an imminent campaign.
Given this context, attention naturally shifts toward a more consequential horizon: the next presidential contest.
Both Newsom and Kelly have cultivated reputations as potential contenders for the Democratic nomination in 2028. Newsom, in particular, is widely regarded as a leading prospect. Although he has publicly sidestepped direct questions about White House ambitions, his recent actions suggest strategic positioning. He has assembled a dedicated social media team focused on challenging President Trump online and used his Munich visit to reinforce his image as a high-profile counterweight to the administration. During the trip, he formalized a clean energy agreement between California and the United Kingdom and initiated a similar partnership framework with Ukraine—moves that elevate his international profile and reinforce his standing among Democratic constituencies.
Viewed collectively, Soros’ engagements in Munich appear less like routine networking and more like early-stage alignment ahead of what could become a pivotal 2028 campaign cycle.
