WASHINGTON _ Republican donors, politicians and religious leaders watched from front row seats at the White House on Tuesday as President Donald Trump unveiled his long-awaited vision for Middle East peace, highlighting the potential political benefits of the policy for his 2020 campaign.
In the front row, Sheldon and Miriam Adelson _ the largest donors in Republican politics _ sat beside the team that crafted Trump's 80-page proposal for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. The Republican governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, was in attendance. Former Sen. Joe Lieberman, who is seen as effective in rallying Jewish support in Florida, sat near Ralph Reed, one of the president's most vocal evangelical supporters.
It was a show of force of politically active communities pivotal to his victory in November.
