George Soros is the biggest donor in the US Midterm elections (infographic)

Midterm Election Mega-Donors

Newsroom November 2 10:19

George Soros, the Hungarian Holocaust survivor, and philanthropist, is by far the biggest donor in the United States midterm elections, according to data from the Federal Election Commission.

To date, he has offered up a hefty $128.5M to the Democratic party. Other big spenders include Elizabeth & Richard Uihlein, the founders of a shipping and packaging company, who spent a combined $70.2M on the Republican party campaign, and hedge fund manager Kenneth Griffin, who spent $65.9M, also on the Republican side. While Soros has spent far and away the most of any individual – at least double the next in line – as our chart shows, most of this year’s top 8 mega-donors are Republicans. The following chart shows a roundup of the top mega-donors in the U.S., based on FEC data researched by The Washington Post.

A range of personalities appears on this top roundup, from hedge fund managers to tech entrepreneurs. At only 30 years old, Sam Bankman-Fried is the youngest to make it onto the list, after having made millions off of cryptocurrency investments. Meanwhile, according to NPR, more than $1.6 billion in funding for TV ads has come from so-called “dark money groups” vying to boost GOP Senate candidates’ chances.
