Incumbent and Trump pick Ogles loses GOP primary for Tennessee District 5

WPLN / Nashville Public Radio (NPR) · back to the audit

Incumbent Congressman Andy Ogles has lost the GOP primary to Charlie Hatcher, despite the backing of President Donald Trump. A former Tennessee agriculture commissioner, Hatcher outraised Ogles and received late-race endorsements from Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and former Gov. Bill Haslam. Ogles' defeat coincides with a recent dip in Trump's approval rating in Tennessee. From last November to this May, that rating fell 7 percentage points, down to less than half, according to a Vanderbilt University poll.
