GOP Megadonor Huddles With Top 2024 Contenders

Politico reports:

Republican megadonor Miriam Adelson — the widow of casino mogul and longtime GOP kingmaker Sheldon Adelson — is staging a return to politics, positioning herself to be a force in the 2022 midterms and beyond. Adelson, who with her husband formed the Republican Party’s most powerful donor couple for the last decade, quietly held meetings in her Las Vegas home with a select group of GOP leaders and potential 2024 presidential candidates in the last few days.

The list of figures Adelson met with this week included House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair Rick Scott, who are helping to guide the party’s midterm efforts. She also huddled with a group of Republicans regarded as potential presidential hopefuls in 2024: former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, Vice President Mike Pence, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Sheldon Adelson died in January.

Miriam Adelson, who is worth an estimated $30 billion, last appeared on JMG when she declared that the Bible should now include the “Book of Trump.”

Last year it was revealed that the Trump administration secretly sold the former US ambassador’s residence in Israel to the Adelsons for $67 million.

In 2018, Trump awarded Miriam Adelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom after she donated $500,000 to a legal defense fund for Trump associates.
