McCaskill<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">June 9 (Reuters) &#8211; Democratic voters nominated Susie Lee on Tuesday to \u200crun in Nevada&#8217;s 3rd Congressional District, a \u200cLas Vegas-area swing seat that could help decide control of \u200bthe U.S. House of Representatives in November, U.S. media projected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The district is among a small number of battlegrounds expected to shape the balance of \u200cpower in Congress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Incumbent \u2060Democratic Representative Susie Lee, who was reelected by nearly 3 percentage points \u2060in 2024 despite Trump&#8217;s narrow win in the district, sought renomination against cardiologist James Lally, a \u200bself-funded former \u200bRepublican who has \u200bput $1 million into his \u200ccampaign. Other candidates were Marine Corps veteran Terrill Robinson and Brandon West, who ran unsuccessfully for the state Senate in 2018.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Lee raised $3.9 million and reported more than $3.3 million on hand by May \u200c20, compared with $261,000 for Lally, \u200baccording to pre-primary filings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Democratic \u200bnominee will face \u200bthe Republican winner in what \u200cis expected to be a \u200bclosely fought \u200bgeneral election contest. Final results could take time, as Nevada processes votes under procedures that \u200bcan delay \u200cofficial calls in close races.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">(Reporting by Nolan \u200bD.
