After placing fourth in the June 2024 Republican primary, former Bungie composer Marty O'Donnell is taking another run at US Congress. This time, though, he has the backing of Donald Trump (via Kotaku).

O'Donnell, whose work as a composer encompasses Halo, Destiny, and various other games, and who is running for Nevada's 3rd Congressional District, won Trump's backing in a Truth Social post yesterday.

The president wrote that "It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, Marty O'Donnell," denounced Democratic incumbent Susie Lee as a "true Radical Left Extremist," and hailed O'Donnell as "a World-Class Composer and Entrepreneur who knows the America First Policies required to Create GREAT Jobs, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote NO TAX ON TIPS, Advance MADE IN THE U.S.A., and Champion our Nation’s Golden Age."
