NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A first-term Tennessee congressman backed by former President Donald Trump will face a Republican challenger who calls the lawmaker ineffective, a contest that is among the top races in the state’s August primary election.
This election, Trump didn’t waste any time backing Ogles, throwing him his support last year before many others were considering tossing their hat in the race. Ogles, a member of the Freedom Caucus, was among the Republican holdouts in Kevin McCarthy’s prolonged speakership nomination in January 2023, voting against him 11 times before switching to support him. When McCarthy was ousted in October, Ogles voted against removing him.
Last year, days after a school shooting that killed six people, Johnson joined fellow Democratic Reps. Justin Pearson and Justin Jones as they walked to the front of the state House floor with a bullhorn. The trio joined the chants and cries for gun control legislation by protesters in the public galleries and outside of the chamber.
