以“摆脱金钱政治”为竞选纲领的密歇根州民主党联邦参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德，将出席在亿万富翁乔治·索罗斯侄子位于西好莱坞的家中举办的筹款活动。
据《潘趣鲍尔新闻获得的活动传单显示，加州电影制片人杰弗里·索罗斯及其妻子凯瑟琳·索罗斯，将于2026年9月28日举办一场见面会，一同作为主持人还包括奥巴马前顾问、《Pod Save America》主持人乔恩·法夫罗、汤姆·维托尔、本·罗兹，以及其他好莱坞人士。传单注明，每位宾客可向“阿卜杜勒为密歇根胜利基金”捐赠最高5.78万美元。
这场跨州大额筹款活动举办之际，埃尔赛义德一直在反复抨击企业与亿万富翁对政治的影响力。在之前的一场竞选活动中，埃尔赛义德曾表示，除了政治权力之外，亿万富翁实际上无法用1亿多美元买到其他任何东西。
这场活动将让埃尔赛义德与亿万富翁乔治·索罗斯的亲属同台亮相。几十年来，乔治·索罗斯一直利用其财富支持各类政治事业与竞选活动，包括倡导保释改革和废除强制性最低刑期的检察官。

由乔治·索罗斯创立的慈善机构开放社会基金会，向美国公民自由联盟提供了5000万美元拨款，用于全国性刑事司法改革运动，并向纽约大学法学院布伦南司法中心提供300万美元拨款，用于反选区划分诉讼以及针对各州“限制性”投票法的诉讼。
目前尚不清楚乔治·索罗斯是否会出席埃尔赛义德的筹款活动。福克斯新闻数字频道已联系开放社会基金会置评。
杰弗里·索罗斯是慈善家保罗·索罗斯与黛西·索罗斯之子，保罗·索罗斯是乔治·索罗斯的哥哥。“保罗与黛西·索罗斯新美国人奖学金项目支持在美国攻读研究生教育的移民及其子女。
杰弗里·索罗斯是洛杉矶媒体基金首席执行官，同时也是《爱在当下》的执行制片人。福克斯新闻数字频道已联系洛杉矶媒体基金置评。
活动传单还列出了电视剧编剧艾德·雷德利奇与萨拉·蒂伯曼、风险投资家汤姆·昂特曼，以及战车娱乐公司创始人兼首席执行官阿莫斯·哈桑。

这场聚会举办之际，埃尔赛义德批评共和党候选人迈克·罗杰斯上周出席了在达拉斯举行的共和党中期大会，却未出席电视辩论。
“如果你在疑惑，密歇根州根本没有达拉斯，”埃尔赛义德上周在一场题为“学生对抗亿万富翁”的集会上对密歇根州立大学学生说道，“他当时在德克萨斯州达拉斯。考虑到他是在密歇根州竞选参议员，他为什么会在德克萨斯州达拉斯？”
埃尔赛义德还驳斥了外界对他与哈桑·皮克关联的批评，他称皮克是“加州的一名主播，与密歇根州政治无关”，尽管皮克上个月曾与埃尔赛义德一同出席了泳池边的竞选活动。
过去，皮克曾发表过诋毁美国和犹太人的言论，并表达对哈马斯的支持。他曾称东正教犹太人“近亲繁殖”，称美国理应遭受9·11恐怖袭击，并称哈马斯比以色列政府“强1000倍。几周前，埃尔赛义德因与这名左翼Twitch主播的关联遭到批评后，就与曾在民主党初选中为他助选的皮克划清了界限。

“阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德在华盛顿向查克·舒默乞求资金后，又在加州筹集索罗斯的‘黑金’，这是他整个竞选周期里最不令人意外的行为，”罗杰斯竞选团队通讯主任艾莉莎·布鲁耶特在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中说道，“这就是骗子的所作所为——说一套做一套。密歇根人无法信任这家伙。”
埃尔赛义德本周三在华盛顿会见了参议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党参议员查克·舒默，以及其他参议员，包括新泽西州民主党参议员科里·布克和马萨诸塞州民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦。

“迈克·罗杰斯已从大型制药公司筹集了超过100万美元，多年来，他在国会中自诩为制药公司的“拥护者”，投票支持维持处方药高价，”一名竞选发言人在一份声明中说道，“企业特殊利益集团正在投入数百万美元的‘黑金’，试图为罗杰斯买下参议院席位，因为他整个职业生涯都在为自己和亿万富翁捐赠者敛财，而密歇根民众则为此付出代价。”
“阿卜杜勒是这场竞选中唯一一位竞选摆脱金钱政治的候选人，他将努力废除《联合公民诉联邦选举委员会案》判决，确保我们的民主为民众服务，而非为亿万富翁服务，”竞选发言人继续说道。

‘Money out of politics’ candidate Abdul El-Sayed set to fundraise with George Soros’ nephew in California
Guests can donate up to $57,800 at the West Hollywood event hosted by Jeffrey Soros and former Obama advisors

Michigan Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who is campaigning on getting “money out of politics,” will attend a fundraiser at the West Hollywood home of billionaire George Soros’ nephew.
Jeffrey Soros, a California film producer, and his wife, Catharine Soros, will host a meet-and-greet alongside former Obama advisors and “Pod Save America” hosts Jon Favreau, Tom Vietor and Ben Rhodes, as well as other Hollywood figures, on Sept. 28, 2026, according to a flyer obtained by Punchbowl News. The flyer noted that each guest can donate up to $57,800 to the Abdul for Michigan Victory Fund.
The out-of-state big-money fundraiser comes as El-Sayed has repeatedly criticized the influence of corporations and billionaires in politics. At a previous campaign event, El-Sayed said billionaires couldn’t tell him what else they could actually buy beyond $100 million other than political power.
The event will put El-Sayed alongside relatives of billionaire George Soros, who has for decades used his wealth to support political causes and campaigns, including prosecutors who have advocated for bail reform and eliminating mandatory minimum prison sentences.
‘DESTROYING THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE’: EL-SAYED’S POLITICAL ORBIT COMPLICATES EFFORT TO MODERATE HIS IMAGE

Open Society Foundations, the philanthropy founded by George Soros, gave the American Civil Liberties Union a $50 million grant for a nationwide criminal justice reform campaign and a $3 million grant to the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law to fund anti-gerrymandering lawsuits and litigation against states with “restrictive” voting laws.
It is unclear whether George Soros will attend El-Sayed’s fundraiser. Fox News Digital reached out to Open Society Foundations for comment.
Jeffrey Soros is the son of Paul and Daisy Soros, who were philanthropists. Paul Soros was George Soros’ older brother. The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans supports immigrants and children of immigrants pursuing graduate education in the United States.
Jeffrey Soros is CEO of Los Angeles Media Fund and is an executive producer of “The Space Between Us.” Fox News Digital reached out to Los Angeles Media Fund for comment.
The flyer also listed television showrunners Ed Redlich and Sarah Timberman, venture capitalist Tom Unterman and Ahmos Hassan, founder and CEO of Chariot Entertainment.

The gathering also comes as El-Sayed has criticized Republican candidate Mike Rogers for attending the GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas last week but failing to appear for a televised debate.
“Now, in case you’re wondering, there is no Dallas, Michigan,” El-Sayed told Michigan State University students at a rally titled “Students v. Billionaires” held last week. “He was in Dallas, Texas. Why was he in Dallas, Texas? Given that he’s running for Senate in Michigan.”
El-Sayed also waved off criticism of his affiliation with Hasan Piker, who he said is a “streamer in California” who has nothing to do with Michigan politics, despite Piker joining El-Sayed for a poolside campaign event last month.
In the past, Piker has made disparaging remarks about America and Jewish people and has expressed support for Hamas. He once called Orthodox Jewish people “inbreds,” said America deserved the 9/11 terrorist attacks and said Hamas was “1,000 times better” than the Israeli government. El-Sayed distanced himself from Piker, who campaigned with him during the Democratic primary, weeks ago after facing criticism over his affiliation with the left-wing Twitch streamer.

“Abdul El-Sayed raising dark Soros money in California after begging Chuck Schumer for money in DC is the least surprising thing he’s done all cycle,” Alyssa Brouillet, communications director for Rogers’ campaign, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “That’s what a conman does — says one thing and does another. Michiganders can’t trust this guy.”
El-Sayed was in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday meeting with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and other senators, including Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.

“Mike Rogers has taken over a million dollars from Big Pharma and spent years in Congress as a self-proclaimed ‘champion’ of drug companies, voting to keep prescription drug costs high,” a campaign spokesperson said in a statement. “Corporate special interests are spending millions of dollars in dark money to try to buy Rogers a Senate seat because he’s spent his entire career making himself and his billionaire donors richer while Michiganders pay the price.”
“Abdul is the only candidate in this race running to get money out of politics and will fight to end Citizens United to ensure that our democracy is working for people, not billionaires,” the campaign spokesperson continued.
El-Sayed is not the only Democrat courting wealthy Hollywood elites.
“Lost” co-creator Damon Lindelof and his wife, Heidi, hosted a fundraiser for Democratic Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico on Sept. 10, 2025, in the upscale Hollywood neighborhood of Brentwood.
