Governor DeSantis was seen dining with Trump’s biggest financial backer in 2020 at a dinner in Israel today.

Via Axios:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dined with Miriam Adelson — former President Trump’s top financial backer in 2020 — and other major GOP donors in Jerusalem on Wednesday, according to two sources who attended the dinner.

Politico reported in October 2022 that Adelson, widow to the late billionaire Sheldon Adelson, told several possible Republican candidates that she plans stay neutral in the 2024 primary.

Representatives for Adelson did not respond to a request for comment. DeSantis’ campaign declined to comment.

Could it be that DeSantis will convince Adelson not to be neutral in the 2024 Republican Primary?

In other news related to DeSantis’ trip to Israel, he was reportedly the guest of honor at a dinner put on by Trump’s former finance chairman for the state of Colorado:

DeSantis met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog before attending a dinner at the Museum of Tolerance, where he was the guest of honor, according to sources in the room.

The dinner was hosted by Larry Mizel, a Denver-based business executive and philanthropist who founded the museum. In 2016, Mizel was the finance chairman for the Trump campaign in Colorado.

Mizel did not respond to Axios’ request for comment.

I suspect there are many who would love to dole out the dollars to support a DeSantis 2024 ticket. But to snatch Trump’s largest 2020 donor would be saying something.
