Billionaire Megadonor Flies Pence To Meet Her In Israel

The Jewish Insider reports:

Amid speculation over the 2024 Republican presidential primary field, former Vice President Mike Pence met for dinner with Dr. Miriam Adelson, the influential GOP megadonor, at her home in Jerusalem on Monday night, just hours after he had touched down in Israel for a multi-day trip through the Middle East.

While Adelson has remained relatively quiet since the January death of her husband, the casino magnate and Republican powerbroker Sheldon Adelson, she has reportedly upped her political involvement in recent months and intends to spend heavily in forthcoming cycles.

Late Tuesday morning, Pence also “paid his respects at Sheldon Adelson’s gravesite on the Mount of Olives,” which overlooks Jerusalem’s Old City.
