Trump Mega Donor Miriam Adelson Opens Up Cash Spigot
Republican mega-donor Miriam Adelson had been hanging back on investing in the 2024 election.
Once part of a power couple with her husband Sheldon Adelson, who died in 2021, she has spent the months since the outbreak of war in Israel speaking out on behalf of the country where she grew up.
In December, she and her son-in-law bought a controlling interest in the Dallas Mavericks basketball team.
However, new Federal Election Commission filings show that Adelson opened up her wallet to Donald Trump and other Republicans in May, beginning a likely slew of campaign spending.
Through a contribution to the Trump 47 Joint Fundraising Committee (JFC), which accepts huge sums and parcels them out to other groups, Adelson contributed the maximum allowable amount, $413,000, to the Republican National Committee.
Adelson’s cash infusion to the JFC also furnished $6,600 directly to the Trump campaign, the most she can give for the primary and general elections combined.
Those donations bolstered Trump’s massive war chest. According to the most recent FEC reports, his campaign committee had almost $117 million cash on hand at the beginning of June, exceeding the Biden campaign, which had nearly $92 million....
======================================
So...Trump has more money on hand. So much for Biden's money advantage.
