> Tennessee Representative Andy Ogles was defeated in the Republican congressional primary on Thursday night. Ogles is described as a fervent ally of Donald Trump. The loss came despite the president’s support, including a tele-rally and other gestures backing his campaign. Ogles therefore failed to secure the Republican nomination despite assistance from Trump.
