Miriam Adelson’s $40 Million Boosts GOP’s Midterms War Chest

Pro-Israel megadonor Miriam Adelson gave $40 million to the Republicans’ House and Senate super political action committees, boosting the party’s war chest as it fights to maintain control of both chambers.

Adelson donated $30 million to a super PAC tied to Senate Republican leaders, her largest single contribution yet to the Senate Leadership Fund. She also gave another $10 million to its House counterpart, the Congressional Leadership Fund, according to filings Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission.
