Rep. Andy Ogles, a Trump-endorsed Republican, lost his primary for Tennessee's 5th Congressional District on Thursday to Charlie Hatcher, a former state agriculture commissioner, according to Associated Press and NBC News projections. Ogles, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, was first elected to Congress in 2022 after previously serving as mayor of Maury County, Tennessee. During his time in Congress, Ogles drew scrutiny for a series of controversial remarks and an ongoing federal inquiry. Ogles told the AP that the Justice Department had returned his cellphone, which had been seized as part of the investigation. Ogles' loss extends a pattern this election cycle of Trump-backed candidates falling short despite the president's endorsement.
