Quick Summary

Democratic Rep. Susie Lee won Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District on Tuesday with 60.1% of the vote against Republican challenger Marty O’Donnell, who received 37.8%. The race in a Las Vegas-area seat that backed President Trump in the 2024 election was closely watched as an indicator for House control after the midterms. Lee, first elected in 2019 and known for her education advocacy, held off O’Donnell despite Trump’s endorsement and significant campaign spending by MAGA-aligned groups that later scaled back their efforts due to unfavorable polling.

Story summary

Democratic Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV) won Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District on Tuesday, defeating Republican challenger Marty O’Donnell with 60.1% of the vote to O’Donnell’s 37.8%, according to The Associated Press. This victory secured Lee's position as the incumbent after a competitive race in a Las Vegas-area seat that supported President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Lee, who has represented the district since 2019, entered this race with a significant fundraising advantage of $5.6 million for the election cycle and $1.2 million during the third quarter alone. O’Donnell, known for his work on video game franchises like Halo and Destiny, won the Republican primary in June with Trump’s endorsement but faced reduced support from MAGA Inc., which canceled $1 million in television advertising reservations shortly before the election. This race was seen as a key contest that could influence control of the House after the midterm elections.
