## Summary

Republican Marty O’Donnell, known for composing music for the original Halo games and Destiny, lost his bid to represent Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District. Democrat incumbent Susie Lee defeated him by a wide margin, despite a last-minute endorsement from Donald Trump, leaving O’Donnell’s political future uncertain.

After the result, Lee posted a video of Halo fans singing the game’s monk chant alongside O’Donnell’s earlier comment that he no longer had to be a politician; he replied that she had “a lot of class” and that “it’s all low”.
