What were Soros’s actions relating to the 2004 presidential election?
In 2003, opposing George W. Bush’s efforts to win another term as President became one of George Soros’s chief priorities. He believed that President Bush’s policies were a danger to America and the world. That year, he wrote The Bubble of American Supremacy, a critique of the philosophy he saw guiding the Bush administration, and donated $27 million to organizations that also sought a change in the philosophy guiding American policy. During the 2004 campaign he donated an additional $27.5 million to various organizations that sought to defeat President Bush’s bid for reelection. The vast majority of his funding went to America Coming Together, a voter registration and mobilization effort.
