Representative Andy Ogles of Tennessee has lost his bid for reelection in the Republican primary, defeated by former Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher. The loss makes him the second candidate endorsed by Donald Trump to be defeated in a primary this week.
The Associated Press called the race for Hatcher on Thursday, following projections from NBC News, Politico, The Hill and the Washington Examiner. Ogles, first elected to the House in 2022 and a member of the Freedom Caucus, faced opposition not only from his challenger but also from Tennessee Governor Bill Lee.
The defeat of an incumbent backed by Trump adds to a growing number of renomination losses for sitting members of Congress this primary season. No right-leaning sources reported on the story beyond stating the facts of the loss; no conservative outlet offered analysis or commentary.
