Sheldon Adelson s Death Prompts Republican Mourning as Tributes Made to GOP Megadonor

The death of 87-year-old billionaire and Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson announced Tuesday prompted a flurry of tributes from conservatives, who lauded the impact the casino mogul had on American and Israeli politics.
Adelson s Las Vegas Sands company announced Tuesday that the Republican power broker had died from complications related to treatment for non-Hodgkin s Lymphoma.
Adelson and wife Miriam were the largest donors to outgoing President Donald Trump, and since 2010 donated more than $525 million to federal political campaigns and committees, according to OpenSecrets.
Adelson was awarded the President Medal of Freedom by Trump in 2018, though the president later criticized the businessman for not donating more to his 2020 re-election bid.
