Former President Donald Trump dined with casino executive Miriam Adelson in Las Vegas on Thursday, his latest indication he is moving to consolidate the support of the Republican donor class.
Adelson, who according to Forbes is worth an estimated $35 billion, could play a key role in Trump’s bid for a second term. Adelson and her husband,
the late Las Vegas mogul Sheldon Adelson, were the biggest donors to Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign, giving $90 million to a super PAC that was supporting him.
The dinner was confirmed by two people familiar with it and granted anonymity to describe a private meeting. An Adelson representative did not respond to a request for comment.
