Dallas Mavericks owner Miriam Adelson to donate up as much as $100 million to Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, reports say
Republican strategist Dave Carney, who Adelson tapped to lead the her Preserve America super PAC, told the Times he planned to spend Adelson's $100 million support for Trump on TV or digital campaigns focused on three or four to-be-determined states. The relationship between the Adelsons and Trump dates back to 2015 when Miriam and her late husband Sheldon first sat down with the future president, the Times reported.

Trump later awarded Adelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018.

Marco Rubio of Florida -- a move Trump openly mocked until the Adelsons switched their support to him.written by Adelson for the Israel Hayom, the Israeli daily newspaper she owns, she compared Trump to heroes, sages and prophets written about in the Bible.
