Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam Adelson gave $75 million to a super PAC that flooded battleground states with anti-Joe Biden ads in September, a huge investment from the GOP megadonors as President Donald Trump slipped in the polls.
The money for Preserve America brought the Adelsons' giving to Republican candidates and committees to a whopping $176 million for the 2020 election cycle, according to FEC data. The couple had previously given $50 million to Senate Leadership Fund, the GOP super PAC focused on defending the Senate majority. An additional $40 million in donations to the Congressional Leadership Fund, the Republican super PAC focused on the House, was revealed in new filings late Thursday night.
In total, Preserve America raised $83.76 million between its creation on Aug. 31 and the end of September. Other major donors include Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, who gave $5 million, investment banker Warren Stephens, who gave $2 million, and businesswoman Diane Hendricks, who gave $1 million.
Story continuesThe Adelsons' cash infusion backing Trump comes despite some tension between the president and the megadonor. In a phone call this summer, before the founding of Preserve America, Trump confronted Adelson about why he wasn’t doing more to support his reelection. At the time, Adelson chose not to escalate the iight with the president, POLITICO reported at the time.
When Sheldon going to just drop dead already?
May they fall into this slimy republican ditch filled with the wealthy for the wealthy by exploiting the gullible many.Trickle down is exactly that, precious little while stealing from middle and lower AMERICANS who will see less pay and fewer jobs while paying taxes for the rich
Old garbage
Soros gave $100M to Biden's Florida campaign alone to ensure a Biden victory there. Soros is also the money behind all of the domestic terrorists destroying cities, as he has in other countries. The terrorists are all Democrat voters. When will the Dems denounce them?
$75 million can go a long way to help people of this country instead of helping a so called billionaire who thinks $450 million is a small amount of money compared to his wealth.
If they want to waste their money, that’s their business.
Anyone remember that great 80’s flick, “The Money Pit”?
You should’ve gave your money to the poor instead of that white racist Trump You two didn’t do yourself any favours.
Preserve America might just be a hat company.
It won’t work.
Money wasted. Good tax write off. Political contribution.
94 billionaires have donated to Biden why is this even a story?
Idiots really act like there's not super donors in both parties...Bidens top donors are all media and big tech billionaires... and the CCP
I hope they lose every single penny.
Investigate this crook.
That’s gonna really smart in 18 days! Ouch! Quite the gamble!
Imagine having $75 mil to just toss onto a sinking ship and watch go down
Is that legal?
Fuck VA hospitals! Too slow and irresponsible! They refuse to give veterans needed checks and tests! Doctors use Government paid duty time to work for themselves to make extra money! Care about our veterans!
No reason to change campaign laws , seems like trying to buy an election by one old, rich dude is ok in America.
Pathetic waste of money! Imagine what $75 million could do to feed America's hungry children and families, or how much better able this nation would be able to provide our nations doctors, nurses, and first responders with what is needed to control this pandemic.
Buying not merely Senators but Presidents.
Good for them, supporting what is important to them and I might add, good for America.
Money from gamblers / losers to another loser
If nothing else, it'll help trumpy off that 400 million seeing as he's using campaign finances to do anything he wants
The very definition of throwing good money after bad.
Jayzus Extremely wealthy business people just astound me Give the 75 million to those who REALLY need it The working people of America who are struggling through this Pandemic not to 45 who treats them like pawns in this stupid game of kill the poor he’s been at since March
What a waste of money! They are just going to launder it into their personal accounts. 🤣
