Big Democrat money is rallying behind Newsom.
California’s Democrat Governor Gavin Newsom is making a massive power grab — and billionaire left-wing kingmaker George Soros is bankrolling the entire operation.
According to The New York Times, Soros has poured $10 million into Newsom’s Proposition 50, a controversial ballot initiative designed to redraw California’s congressional maps in a way that could lock in Democrat control for years to come.
Soros, infamous for funding radical left-wing causes across America, made the single largest donation to Newsom’s campaign. The contribution brings Newsom’s total war chest to an eye-popping $70 million — a staggering sum that conservatives warn could dramatically tilt the balance of power in Washington.
This move comes as Democrats scramble to counter the success of President Donald Trump and Republicans in red states like Texas, where the GOP has been fighting back against decades of Democrat-led gerrymandering.
California vs. Texas: The Battle for Congress
Newsom openly admitted that his Proposition 50 push is directly targeting Texas Republicans.
“We are talking about emergency measures to respond to what’s happening in Texas,” Newsom declared in August. “We will nullify what happens in Texas.”
In Texas, Republican lawmakers passed a new congressional map this summer that could hand the GOP five additional U.S. House seats ahead of the critical 2026 midterm elections. Governor Greg Abbott signed the measure into law in August, a move celebrated by conservatives and strongly backed by President Trump.
Earlier in the year, Texas Democrats attempted to derail the vote by fleeing the state for liberal strongholds like Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York. Despite their efforts, Republicans stood firm and pushed the legislation through — prompting Newsom to launch his California counterattack.
Proposition 50 will now appear on California’s November 4 special election ballot, setting up a high-stakes fight over control of Congress.
Trump: ‘We’re Entitled to Five More Seats’
President Trump has been outspoken about redistricting, urging Republicans to fight back against Democrat manipulation of electoral maps.
“In California, it’s all gerrymandered,” Trump told CNBC in August. “We have an opportunity in Texas to pick up five seats. I got the highest vote total in Texas history, and we are entitled to five more seats.”
Trump has also repeatedly blasted George Soros, accusing him of funneling dark money into left-wing operations that undermine free and fair elections.
Trump took to Truth Social to blast Soros, writing that Soros and his allies have “done tremendous harm to our country, especially with their radical West Coast friends,” and warned, “Watch out — we’re keeping a close eye on you!”
Who is Behind Soros’ Machine
George Soros controls the Open Society Foundations, a sprawling $25 billion network that funds progressive groups worldwide. In 2022, his son Alex Soros took over as chairman, continuing the family’s mission to push globalist policies and far-left political agendas.
For decades, Soros has quietly influenced elections, bankrolling everything from local district attorney races to presidential campaigns. His fingerprints are all over some of the most controversial policies in America today — including soft-on-crime prosecutors and open-border immigration initiatives.
By pouring millions into California’s redistricting battle, Soros is working to expand Democrat dominance, ensuring conservatives face an uphill battle to win seats in Congress.
Why Proposition 50 is So Dangerous
If Proposition 50 passes, Democrats could gain at least five extra House seats, directly countering the Republican surge in Texas. Newsom claims his plan is “temporary” and “transparent,” but critics say it’s nothing more than a blatant power grab to cement one-party rule in California.
Newsom even tried to frame the initiative as “fair” compared to Texas, saying:
“We’re doing it on a temporary basis. We’re doing it in a fully transparent way, and we’re asking the people of California for their consent and support.”
However, conservatives warn this is political spin, pointing out that California Democrats have a long history of rigging the system to keep Republicans out of power.
The Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher
The battle between California and Texas represents more than just state politics — it’s a fight for the future of Congress and the direction of the entire country.
If Soros and Newsom succeed, Democrats could solidify their control of Washington, undermining Republican gains and crippling Trump’s America First agenda.
With the November 4 special election approaching, conservatives are mobilizing to stop this radical plan before it’s too late.
Bottom Line
George Soros is once again weaponizing his fortune to push a far-left agenda, this time through Gavin Newsom’s California redistricting scheme. President Trump and GOP leaders are urging conservatives to stay alert and get involved, warning that the outcome of this battle could shape the future of America’s elections for decades to come.
