Alex Soros backs Biden: "stop running against ourselves and focus on Trump" Alex Soros, the son of billionaire Democratic activist George Soros and chair of Open Society, which is considered to be the largest donor to the US Democratic Party, voiced his support for President Joe Biden on Wednesday, urging fellow Democrats to cease calls for Biden to step down. “Let’s stop running against ourselves and run against the existential threat that is Donald Trump! Biden-Harris 2024!” he stated emphatically. A quasi-Civil War has erupted within the Democratic Party this week, with some calling for Biden to step aside and others insisting he remain in the race. This internal conflict was highlighted on Wednesday when actor and Democratic activist George Clooney, who recently hosted a fundraiser for Biden, wrote an op-ed for the New York Times urging the president to step down.
