Former President Donald Trump to Campaign in Las Vegas for 2024 Election
Donald Trump, the former casino tycoon and current bid for the US presidency, plans to rally his supporters in Southern Nevada this weekend. Trump, who remains the frontrunner in betting markets for the Republican Party’s ticket, will be delivering remarks at a Team Trump Nevada event at Stoney’s Rockin’ Country nightclub, followed by a keynote speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s Annual Leadership Summit at The Venetian Resort.
The RJC event is crucial for the 2024 GOP candidates as they seek the support of Dr. Miriam Adelson, widow of billionaire Sheldon Adelson and a major political donor. Adelson was known for his strong support of Republican candidates, and securing his support would provide a significant boost in the upcoming primaries and general election.
During his presidency, Trump had guaranteed the Adelsons that he would relocate the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a move that was of great importance to the billionaire couple. The relocation finally occurred in May 2018, 23 years after the Jerusalem Embassy Act was signed into law.
Despite facing legal issues, Trump remains the favorite to win the GOP’s 2024 nomination, with odds currently at 68 cents on the PredictIt political wagering exchange. He is followed by Nikki Haley at 15 cents and Ron DeSantis at 11 cents. However, for the general election, President Joe Biden is favored to win a second term, with shares currently at 42 cents compared to Trump’s 37 cents.
