CNBC: “Casino magnate and Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson is plotting a spending blitz to support President Donald Trump with just under 50 days to go until Election Day, CNBC has learned. Adelson, the CEO of Las Vegas Sands, is looking to spend anything from around $20 million to upwards of $50 million in a last ditch effort to help Trump overcome Joe Biden, according to people familiar with the matter.”
“Most of the sum is expected to go toward the new pro-Trump super PAC Preserve America, these people added. Other organizations, including the campaign, the Republican National Committee and groups helping Republicans in Congress, could also see some of Adelson’s money go their way. One of the people noted that Adelson’s team has recently been in touch with GOP officials close to Trump about where best to deploy the cash. Another person noted that Adelson was a major donor that helped get Preserve America up and running. The people declined to be named as these efforts have been made in private. A person with Preserve America said the group would not confirm any donor information with anybody but the Federal Election Commission.”
