Representative Andy Ogles, a hard-line Tennessee Republican who has faced backlash over anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant rhetoric, lost his primary to Charlie Hatcher, a former state agriculture commissioner, The Associated Press said on Thursday. Mr. Ogles’s loss is seen as an upset despite the controversy he has courted over his two terms in Congress. Mr. Ogles had escalated his campaign in recent weeks, unveiling endorsements from high-profile conservative lawmakers and accusing the group of trying to “buy” his seat. Privately, some Democrats had wondered whether Mr. Ogles would be an easier opponent to defeat in the general election.
