Overview

  • The Times, cited by Fox News and Townhall, reports Soros contributed $10 million to the Yes on 50 effort, bringing the reported war chest to roughly $70 million.
  • The sum would be the largest single donation to the campaign, and Newsom’s office and the Open Society Foundations did not immediately confirm the report.
  • Proposition 50 would pause the Citizens Redistricting Commission and let lawmakers draw congressional maps for 2026, 2028 and 2030 before the commission resumes after the 2030 Census.
  • California voters will decide the measure on November 4 in a special election, and analysts have projected it could shift as many as five U.S. House seats.
  • Opposition forces have raised substantial funds, including more than $30 million from Charles Munger Jr., as Republican leaders attack the plan and President Trump promotes GOP redistricting moves in Texas.
