President Joe Biden has announced that billionaire George Soros, a prominent Democratic donor and philanthropist, will receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States. Soros, who has donated over $32 billion to Democrats and their causes through his foundation, is among 19 recipients of the award. The announcement has sparked criticism from supporters of President-elect Donald Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement. Other notable recipients include former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and cultural figures such as Bono and Anna Wintour. The ceremony to honor these individuals is scheduled to take place at the White House.
