Former President Donald Trump shared a Gateway Pundit article that falsely claimed liberal billionaire George Soros endorsed Gov. Ron DeSantis. The claim stemmed from Soros' remarks about Democrats' possible path to a presidential election victory in 2024.
By Louis Jacobson • February 10, 2023
Soros went on to express his hope that Trump would then run as a third-party candidate, splitting the conservative vote and leading to a"Democratic landslide." Laura Silber, a spokesperson for Soros' Open Society Foundations, a private funder of various justice, human rights and governance groups, said the Gateway Pundit is wrong. She told PolitiFact that Soros"predicted that Gov. DeSantis' is likely to be the Republican candidate' for president in 2024 — a prediction, not an endorsement."
When we asked DeSantis about the claim, his press secretary, Bryan Griffin, said he had not heard about the article and,"given that the governor's policy positions are diametrically opposed to Mr. Soros', it makes no sense." Griffin also pointed us to public remarks in which DeSantis repeatedly said he opposes Soros and the Democratic politicians the billionaire supports.tweet, for instance, DeSantis criticized the"Soros-funded radical Left" for infiltrating his state by purchasing two Miami radio stations.
