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, 2025, 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.

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.
