President Trump endorsed Ogles in the race.
Ogles is a member of the Freedom Caucus.
Decision Desk now projects that (TN-05) Rep. Andy Ogles has LOST his Congressional Primary to Establishment Challenger Charlie Hatcher
He was endorsed by President Trump and will narrowly come short in what myself and others believed was a primary he was the favorite to win….. https://t.co/2Uma6BkfHv pic.twitter.com/Q0LXXEPuQ2
