Is there an example of a notable late-in-life (after 70?) ideological pivot among a powerful person?

You can probably find similar dislocations at a number of sharp political changes: how many 70 year olds discovered suddenly that they were anti-Communists or pro-gay marriage in 1989 or 2013, for example. It’s surely not the case that all continued previous beliefs.

Gay Marriage seems like the obvious place to look. Obama’s official platform in 2008 opposed gay marriage and Biden was in his late sixties when he ran on that.
