United States Congressman Andy Ogles, who has a history of anti-Muslim statements, has lost his Republican primary in the state of Tennessee despite the endorsement of President Donald Trump. Hatcher has also represented himself as pro-Trump, but the US president heaped praise on Ogles earlier on Thursday, giving the incumbent his “complete and total endorsement”. With nearly 90 percent of the votes counted, Hatcher had a 6.6-point lead over Ogles. Ogles is the second Trump-endorsed candidate to lose a primary this week. Both parties are choosing their candidates through primaries, state by state.
