<P> On Election Night , it is said that McGarry has gone up to his hotel room in Houston to take a nap before the results come in . He is later found unconscious by Annabeth Schott who alerts McGarry 's Secret Service detail . He is rushed to the hospital , where he is pronounced dead . McGarry 's death comes ninety minutes before the polls close in California and other Western states , thus giving some voters this information prior to casting their vote . A hard - line Republican strategist wants to bring up McGarry 's death to benefit the Republican presidential nominee , Senator Arnold Vinick , but the visibly disgusted senator tells her that he has been friends with McGarry for decades and will do no such thing , win or lose . Despite McGarry 's death , the Santos - McGarry ticket narrowly wins the election over the Vinick - Sullivan ticket by a 30,000 - vote margin in Nevada and McGarry posthumously becomes the Vice President - elect after Santos ' victory . </P>
