Trump-Endorsed Rep. Andy Ogles Loses Tennessee GOP Primary — Third House Republican Defeated in 2026 Cycle

Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, endorsed by Trump but under federal campaign-finance investigation, lost his 5th District Republican primary to establishment-backed former state Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher on August 6, 2026 (53%-47%). Ogles became the third sitting House Republican to lose renomination in the 2026 cycle, a sign of intra-party volatility heading into the midterms even where Trump's own endorsement was in play.
