Incumbent Republican Representative Andy Ogles was defeated in the Tennessee primary election, losing to challenger Charlie Hatcher. The outcome marks an upset in the race, according to multiple reports.
President Trump had endorsed Ogles, who ultimately came up short in the contest. The primary also saw a super PAC, reportedly bankrolled by Democrats, meddle in the race.
The loss of a President Trump-backed incumbent follows a primary where external groups reportedly played a role. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
