  "summary": "Rep. Andy Ogles, a Tennessee Republican and President Trump's pick for a House seat, lost in the state's Republican primary. He faced a challenge from Charlie Hatcher, a former state agriculture commissioner endorsed by outgoing Gov. Bill Lee.\n\nHatcher's victory marks a rare loss for Trump's endorsement record. According to POLITICO, Hatcher won the GOP primary for the 5th District after outraising Ogles and receiving a late endorsement from GOP Gov. Bill Lee. Outside money from a renewable energy super PAC also supported his campaign.\n\nOgles had faced several controversies, including deleting a homophobic social media post and drawing backlash for another post. The FBI also searched his phone during an investigation into campaign finance records. Charlie Hatcher will face the Democratic mayor of Columbia, Tennessee, Chaz Mold in the general election.",
