FIRST ON FOX: <\/strong>Jeffrey Soros, the wealthy nephew of billionaire Democrat mega-donor George Soros, detailed his yearslong connection to Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed during a Monday night fundraiser, according to footage obtained by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

The Soros nephew, a wealthy Hollywood producer, hosted El-Sayed at his home Monday night for a fundraiser that attracted controversy given the emphasis the candidate has placed on getting money out of politics. During remarks, Soros noted that he played a key role in helping El-Sayed get his career off the ground, according to footage obtained by Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I just wanted to welcome you here and express my appreciation for coming. And it’s been a privilege,” Soros said while standing next to El-Sayed during the event, the footage showed. “Speaking of privilege, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Abdul since 2012. I got to interview him as a finalist for my parents. Fellowship, the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans.”<\/p>\n

The El-Sayed campaign and the Los Angeles Media Fund, where Soros serves as CEO, did not respond to requests for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Attendees were asked not to record the event, a common practice at many political fundraisers, organizers said in footage reviewed by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

The Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, which is designed to help immigrants and the children of immigrants get a leg up in the United States, pays out tens of thousands of dollars in stipend and tuition support to winners. El-Sayed won the fellowship in 2012, and it is touted on its website as one of its success stories.<\/a><\/p>\n

The financial and political ties come as El-Sayed has made the influence of wealthy donors a recurring theme of his campaign.<\/p>\n

“The fundamental corruption of our politics has been the system that allows corporations and would-be oligarchs and billionaires to buy politicians,” El-Sayed said during a 2025 local news interview.<\/p>\n

“I want to get money out of politics, put money in your pocket, pass Medicare for All<\/a>,” he said during a follow-up interview.<\/p>\n

A flyer promoting the Soros fundraiser<\/a>, which was attended by Hollywood notables, stated that attendees could donate up to $57,800 to the Abdul for Michigan Victory Fund, Fox News Digital previously reported. The Soros family\u2019s political machine<\/a> has also dumped millions into political committees that are supporting El-Sayed\u2019s run for Senate.<\/p>\n

“Abdul El-Sayed raising dark Soros money in California after begging Chuck Schumer<\/a> for money in DC is the least surprising thing he\u2019s done all cycle,” Alyssa Brouillet, communications director for GOP nominee Mike Rogers’ campaign, previously told Fox News Digital. “That\u2019s what a conman does \u2014 says one thing and does another. Michiganders can\u2019t trust this guy.”<\/p>\n

El-Sayed\u2019s campaign has defended itself by arguing that “corporate special interests are spending millions of dollars in dark money to try to buy Rogers a Senate seat because he\u2019s spent his entire career making himself and his billionaire donors richer while Michiganders pay the price.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
