Casino magnate and Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam contributed $75 million last month to a super PAC backing President Trump’s re-election bid as the race for the White House entered its closing weeks. Preserve America’s is steered by veteran Republican strategist Chris LaCivita, who masterminded the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads that targeted Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election. In just over a month since its start up, the super PAC has become one of the biggest outside spenders in the 2020 campaign. In August, Biden shattered the single monthly presidential fundraising record – and he broke his own record with a second straight eyepopping haul in September. Trump entered September trailing Biden by roughly $140 million in cash on hand.
