Billionaire globalist George Soros thinks Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will win the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election.
In a speech at the 2023 Munich Security Conference, Soros said, “Trump has turned into a pitiful figure continually bemoaning his loss in 2020. Big Republican donors are abandoning him in droves.”
“DeSantis is shrewd, ruthless, and ambitious. He is likely to be the Republican candidate,” Soros added.
“My hope for 2024 is that Trump and Governor DeSantis of Florida will slug it out for the Republican nomination,” Soros stated.

Soros posted the transcript to his Munich Security Conference speech at georgesoros.com:
To complete the geopolitical picture, I must also examine how democracy is functioning in the United States. Obviously not very well. When Donald Trump became president in 2016, he posed a real threat to our democracy.
Trump is a deeply flawed character, a confidence trickster whose narcissism grew into a disease.
He feels no commitment to democracy; democracy merely provides him with a stage on which to perform. As president, he was more interested in hobnobbing with dictators than in promoting democratic principles.
Trump’s role model was Putin, who amassed a fortune while asserting total control over his country.
Trump attracted a lot of non-educated white followers, but his biggest backers were the mega-rich – and he certainly delivered for them.
First, he cut their taxes. Second, he nominated to the Supreme Court ideologues who embraced an extreme version of the Republican agenda.
Third, he brought the Republican party under his control by threatening those who didn’t swear loyalty to him with a challenge in the primaries.
Lastly, he encouraged Republican-controlled states to introduce outrageous measures of voter suppression to ensure that his party would remain in power indefinitely. With that program, he was almost re-elected in 2020.
My hope for 2024 is that Trump and Governor DeSantis of Florida will slug it out for the Republican nomination.
Trump has turned into a pitiful figure continually bemoaning his loss in 2020. Big Republican donors are abandoning him in droves.
DeSantis is shrewd, ruthless and ambitious. He is likely to be the Republican candidate.
This could induce Trump, whose narcissism has turned into a disease, to run as a third-party candidate. This would lead to a Democratic landslide and force the Republican party to reform itself.
But perhaps I may be just a little bit biased.
The Washington Examiner noted:
Soros, an international financier and philanthropist, typically dumps millions of dollars into political races and committees. He heads a global liberal network of groups pushing climate change, financial reform, and changes to the criminal system.
He recently teamed with Charles Koch and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund to revive the Iran nuclear deal, according to reports.
His predictions for the Republicans aren’t rare. Even in mainstream Republican circles, there has been talk that if Trump loses the nomination he would run as a third party. Typically, third-party candidates take only votes from the other candidate in the race whose politics is close to theirs, meaning a Trump candidacy would take votes from the Republican nominee.
The billionaire Koch brothers are committed to campaign against President Trump in the 2024 GOP Presidential Primary.
The latest polls show Trump defeating Biden in the general election and dominating DeSantis in the GOP primary.
