Megadonor Sheldon Adelson joked Tuesday that he was voting for himself when he showed up to vote in the Nevada caucus, reported The Wall Street Journal.

“I’m voting for myself,” Adelson joked while voting at a high school caucus site, according to the Journal.

Adelson made headlines recently for purchasing the state’s largest paper, the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump reportedly met with him.

Another prominent conservative who showed up to caucus was Gov. Brian Sandoval (R) who specifically caucused for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), though he said his support was not an official endorsement.
