Soros-linked Democrats skip Trump’s State of the Union for counter-rally, sparking controversy
Dozens of Democratic senators and representatives skipped President Donald Trump’s address, attending a progressive-led “People’s State of the Union” rally instead. The event, organized by George Soros-funded groups like MoveOn Civic Action and Indivisible Project, protested Trump’s immigration, healthcare and transparency policies.
MoveOn Civic Action received $3.4 million from Soros’ Open Society Foundations (2016–2024), while Indivisible Project got $3 million in 2023. Many attending lawmakers (e.g., Sens. Ed Markey, Chris Murphy, Rep. Pramila Jayapal) have accepted campaign funds from Soros-linked entities.
Protesters chanted “Abolish ICE!” and demanded the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s sealed files. Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) announced plans to impeach AG Pam Bondi for withholding Epstein documents.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) condemned the boycott as “detestable” while Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) accused Republicans of hypocrisy. Some Democrats, like Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), still attended Trump’s speech, calling for defiance “in whatever way is appropriate.”
The boycott and rival events (“State of the Swamp”) highlight extreme polarization ahead of the 2026 midterms. MoveOn claimed 220,000 online viewers, signaling strong progressive opposition to Trump’s agenda.
