Overview
- President Trump used Truth Social on Tuesday to endorse Marty O'Donnell in NV-3 and state Sen. Carrie Buck in NV-1, calling them "Complete and Total" picks and spotlighting his "no tax on tips" push.
- The endorsement cements O'Donnell's front-runner status after Gov. Joe Lombardo's nod, though Jeff Gunter, Aury Nagy, and Tera Anderson remain in the Republican primary.
- Both candidates still must win their primaries before potential races against Democratic incumbents Susie Lee in NV-3 and Dina Titus in NV-1.
- NV-3 carries a D+1 rating from Cook Political Report, signaling a near-even electorate where well-timed endorsements can steer money and voter cues.
- O'Donnell, the Halo and Destiny composer who placed fourth in 2024, once called Trump an "idiot," vowed to quit without his backing, and now plans to attend the president's Las Vegas event.
