Florida Governor and presumptive presidential nominee Ron DeSantis was spotted dining in Jerusalem this week with Israeli-American billionaire Miriam Adelson.
She was among several major Republican donors at the dinner hosted Wednesday by Larry Mizel, an American businessman who helped found the Museum of Tolerance where the meal was being held. Mizel was the finance chairman for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign office in Colorado during the 2016 race.
ADVERTISEMENT DeSantis sat in between Mizel and Adelson, according to Axios, which broke the story.
Miriam and her late husband, casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, backed DeSantis during his successful 2018 gubernatorial run, donating $500,000 to the Friends of Ron DeSantis PAC.
DeSantis is likely seeking Adelson’s support once again, as he is expected to announce his candidacy for president in the coming weeks, though he faces an uphill battle.

Didn’t he just sign an “anti-hate” speech bill over in Israel today ? I only saw a few headlines and didn’t read them.
Her husband was a good man!
Starting the three I’s trip?
Ireland, Italy and Israel.
Ya’d think this was the 1960’s all over again-
FWIW - she does not look all that interested in that Florida Man. Maybe he could generate better headlines with more normal Florida Man actions, like maybe peeing in a Slurpee cup while slugging some Grape MD 20/20 ?
I will visit Israel I October. I really need return of a Republican to the Whitehouse in 2025. I will be 87 and MUST live to see end of democrat policies
Ruh roh. Trump World won’t like this.
So, DeSantis hasn't even formally announced he's running yet, and he's already been handed the nomination by the Times of Israel. Well, okey-dokey then.
“DeSantis dines with Miriam Adelson, other GOP megadonors in Jerusalem”
doesn’t seem very “America First” ... guess Ron has to grovel and beg the bigshot oliarchs where ever and whenever he can ... preferably away from prying American eyes ...
God bless Ms. Adelson.
The word “pander” comes to mind. 😏
Ronald Herbert Walker DeSantis has all the wrong friends.
People do not comprehend that either DeSantis or Newsom, from the Deep State/Donor Community point of view, are just fine.
Sheldon Adelson was a mega donor and a big TRUMP supporter. I hope the wife will give a token amount to Dementis and save the real money for Trump.
Roger that. 5 by 5.
It’s amazing how they let DeSantis “attack” and “own the libs” over things that are of no consequence to the Deep State/Donor Community.
DeSantis is man of the donor class.
World tour for Let’s Make a Deal.?
He’s not pulling good numbers in the states.
Desantis is verging close to being seen as they guy that just never will propose to the girl he’s been dating for way too long now. It’s not coy, it’s nauseating.
