Thank you Mr. Soros [View all]

This story was at the top of the Democratic Primaries section on the front page when I first viewed this site this morning. I realize that there are other stories that have media and DU attention. There are times when I wonder if some members post to move a story favoring Senator Warren off the front page.

Billionaire George Soros says Elizabeth Warren ‘is the most qualified to be president’

Billionaire philanthropist and liberal activist George Soros says Elizabeth Warren is the top Democrat in the field vying to take on President Donald Trump in 2020.

“She has emerged as the clear-cut person to beat,” he told The New York Times in an interview published Friday. “I don’t take a public stance, but I do believe that she is the most qualified to be president.”

Soros, a former currency trader and the target of numerous right-wing conspiracy theories, does not consider his position to be an endorsement. He said he will not endorse any candidate.

“I don’t express my views generally because I have to live with whoever the electorate chooses,” said the 89-year-old Hungarian-American, who in 1979 established the Open Society Foundations to help countries transition to democracy.
