Marty O’Donnell, the composer of Halo and Destiny, is running for US Congress again but this time, he has the support of Donald Trump.
O’Donnell is best known for creating the soundtracks to several Bungie games, including the original Halo trilogy, Destiny and Oni. He left the company in 2014 to co-found his own studio Highwire Games and in 2024, he campaigned to become Nevada’s representative at Congress.
“I’m tired of seeing the leaders of our country being influenced by the toxic divisions that are tearing apart our families and society,” he said at the time. “It’s time for me to step up and do my civic duty. To give back and try and change things for the better. If not me, who? If not now, when?”
He ended up placing fourth in the Republican primary but is now on the election trail once more, and keeps reminding potential voters about his work on Halo.
