Adelson Spends $95 Million to Boost Trump in Michigan, Wisconsin
SUMMARY
Miriam Adelson has contributed $95 million to a super PAC supporting Donald Trump, with a significant portion focused on Michigan, a crucial battleground state. Preserve America, Adelson’s super PAC, has concentrated much of its advertising in Michigan and Wisconsin, aiming to help Trump reclaim states he won in 2016 but lost in 2020. The PAC has spent heavily in these areas, though it now has only $7.4 million remaining for the final weeks of the race. Trump’s campaign faces stiff competition in Michigan, where Vice President Kamala Harris has outspent him significantly. Since Labor Day, her campaign has funneled millions into Michigan, outpacing Trump’s $173 million national total with her $314 million in key battleground states.
