Tennessee primary tests new map; Ogles ousted

Tennessee's primary elections on Thursday tested a new congressional map redrawn in May, with Republicans seeking a clean sweep of all nine House seats. Incumbent Representative Andy Ogles lost the Republican primary in District 5 to Charlie Hatcher, while Senator Marsha Blackburn won the GOP gubernatorial nomination. The redistricting, which broke up the state's only majority-Black district, is part of a national partisan push ahead of the 2026 midterms, seen as a referendum on President Trump's second term.
