A wave of incumbents is getting knocked out in primaries, and Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles just became the latest — bad news for sitting members of Congress in both parties.

• Ogles lost his GOP primary to Charlie Hatcher even after Trump gave him a last-minute endorsement on election day.
• Trump's backing did not move the needle — Ogles was already down about four points going in.
• Ogles was known more for controversy than legislation, including posts saying Muslims and gay people "have no place in America," plus campaign finance problems.
• He is part of a broader bloodbath for incumbents this cycle, with Republicans like Cornyn, Crenshaw, Cassidy, Gonzales, and Massie also losing primaries.
• The anti-incumbent mood spans both parties, driven by anger over corporate and foreign money in politics and the high cost of housing, food, and gas.

Outlook: Expect more incumbents to face serious primary challenges heading into 2026 and 2028 as voter frustration with entrenched politicians keeps building.
