As part of an overall effort to turn Texas from a Republican stronghold into a blue state, billionaire progressive financier George Soros is pouring oodles of cash into the state's races to bolster support for far-leftist candidates.
George Soros is pouring money into local Democratic parties in Texas in a ploy to help Democrats turn the state blue, according to the Texas Tribune.
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.
Former Texas Rep. Mayra Flores chimed in on the move during an interview with the "Washington Examiner," indicating that Soros' gambit shows that the left is afraid of losing.
Flores, who lost to Gonzalez in 2022 after winning a special election earlier that year, said she was surprised to see Soros's sizable contributions in Texas.
For years, Democrats have sought to turn Texas blue - see Beto O'Rourke's failed campaigns in 2018 for senate and governor in 2022 - though the Left has been unable to change the minds of conservative voters on key topics such as abortion and immigration.
