After hesitating, Miriam Adelson commits more than $100 million to Trump’s campaign

Miriam Adelson, the wife of the late billionaire Sheldon Adelson, has reportedly pledged to spend more than $100 million to support former President Donald Trump in the upcoming general election after staying neutral in the Republican presidential primaries this year.

Adelson, an Israeli-born physician who specializes in substance abuse, is set to finance a rejuvenated pro-Trump super PAC, Preserve America, which was initially formed for Trump’s reelection bid in 2020, Politico reported Thursday. The Adelsons contributed $90 million to Trump in that election cycle.

Sheldon Adelson, the casino magnate who died in 2021, was the most generous single donor for Trump in 2016 — spending $20 million. But he didn’t cut checks until September of that year, and leveraged his support to demand that Trump announce the relocation of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem when he won.

Backfire?

Initially, it appeared that Miriam Adelson was not going to be actively involved in the 2024 election. She said in 2021 that it was time to move beyond the divisions that Trump stoked following his loss. After the death of her husband , she kept a low political profile, though she resumed making political contributions in the 2022 midterm elections.

So, backfire for sure.

Vote for the Convicted Felon - It’s Important!

Same thing I thought and posted on another thread last night, only my statement was “I hope and pray that the left now has woken a sleeping giant number of voters and filled them with a terrible resolve to vote the current bastards out...”

Good news, but I always wondered how these folks get around contribution limits. I thought it was a couple thou or something.

The Adelsons better be careful, or they will get sued by the democrats for aiding and abetting a convicted criminal.

[Old Grumpy]

This makes me feel better (than I was feeling last night). I WISH I had the ability to give that kind of money to Trump!

[Menehune56]

Quite a statement.

[spacejunkie2001]

Wow. Now THAT is big

[Old Grumpy]

>>Vote for the Convicted Felon<<

I LIKE that - do you mind if I use it? It’s too good to pass up.

[dfwgator]

Go right ahead. It makes a great bumper sticker.

I'm no expert. But I believe they fund superpacs who are then able to engage in protected 1A speech.

[mmichaels1970]

or they will get sued by the democrats for aiding and abetting a convicted criminal.

Or jailed.

Every penny helps! Need the mother of all ground games!

[Yo-Yo]

Let’s see, vote for a ‘convicted felon,’ or vote for someone who special counsel Hur described as an old man too forgetful to prosecute?

Tough choice...

[who knows what evil?]

The felon or the pwdophile?

I’ve donated 3 times now to Trump this cycle, twice last night after the verdict. This morning a wake up to a FB post from a cousin gloating about DJT’s convictions. Problem for her is she has overstayed her welcome at my house & my generosity for moving her back to where she came from is gone. July 31’st she is on her own in Bidens America...
