Mega-donor Miriam Adelson pledges over $100 million to Trump super PAC: report

Adelson is an Israeli-born doctor who specializes in substance abuse, per Forward New, and she is set to bankroll bring pro-Trump super PAC, Preserve America, back after it was originally formed in 2020. Her late husband, Sheldon Adelson, was the single largest donor during Trump's 2016 run and demanded Trump bring the Israeli embassy to Jerusalem when he won.

Other billionaires have also pledged their support for Trump in recent weeks, including founder of Pershing Square Capital Management Bill Ackman, who has been a harsh critic of colleges in America on the topic of antisemitism amid the rise in Gaza camp protests around the country and is likely to endorse the 45th president in his election against Biden.

Politico initially reported on the donation on Thursday but merely speculated on the exact amount that was to be given to the Trump super PAC. Trump has praised her before as a “wonderful woman who her husband loved greatly and, at the same time, respected for her great intelligence.” Her investment represents a huge boost for Trump after his conviction on Thursday.

After the trial this week, Trump has raised millions in small-dollar donations, nearly reaching $35 million in just a day. Trump's relationship with relegation with Miriam and her late husband goes back years and they had a seat at Trump’s 2017 inauguration, and Trump awarded Miriam the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018 for her work in medicine.
