It looks like Miriam Adelson, the widow of the late casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, is getting ready to open up the checkbook for Donald Trump’s 2024 election campaign. Politico reported that the two had a recent private dinner together.

Politico cited two anonymous sources who were “familiar” with the meeting. The publication said that Donald Trump is courting the big Republican donors now that it seems he will definitely win the Party’s nomination for President this year.

But will getting the money be enough?

Donald Trump certainly had enough of it in 2020 and he still lost the election. It’s about how and where you spend the money more than how much of it you get. In the general election, fewer than 10 states will matter with all of the rest already guaranteed to go for one candidate or the other.

So, the money needs to be spent in those states and with messages tailored for the local audiences. It must also go to get out the vote on election day efforts.

Miriam’s late husband Sheldon Adelson was a big supporter of Donald Trump’s two previous election campaigns. In 2020 alone, the late casino magnate donated $75 million to help President Trump get reelected. He and Miriam Adelson gave a total of $176 million to Republican causes during the 2020 election.

In 2018 President Trump gave Sheldon Adelson America’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Miriam Adelson recently acquired a majority interest in the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks team. She bought the team from fellow billionaire Mark Cuban.

Dr. Miriam Adelson earned her BSc in microbiology and genetics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem before pursuing medical studies at Tel Aviv University’s Sackler Faculty of Medicine, where she graduated with an MD magna cum laude.

Her official bio describes Adelson as a dedicated research-physician, Dr. Adelson specialized in internal and emergency medicine and is a former head physician in each of these areas at the Rokach (Hadassah) Hospital in Tel Aviv. Since 1986, Miriam Adelson has devoted her time to researching and treating drug abuse and the biology of addiction, including establishing drug clinics in Las Vegas and Tel Aviv.

Miriam Adelson is well-known in the philanthropic world for her extensive support of Jewish and other causes throughout the US and Israel and are major benefactors of Yad Vashem, The Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority and the Birthright Israel Foundation.
