田纳西州共和党众议员安迪·奥格尔斯于周四晚间在党内初选中被共和党挑战者查理·哈彻击败。哈彻是一名农场主，曾任田纳西州农业专员。
尽管这场初选在2026年初选季开始时并非备受关注的赛事，但它却成为共和党内部更大规模势力博弈的缩影。从唐纳德·特朗普总统与田纳西州共和党州长比尔·李之间的背书分歧，到数百万美元围绕环保政策涌入该选区，这场竞选的关注度远超其选区范围。
“明日投资联盟”超级政治行动委员会已斥资约200万美元反对奥格尔斯，并支持哈彻。该组织今年已募资670万美元，奥格尔斯的相关支出占该委员会本选举周期总支出的相当大比例。
特朗普核心盟友警告：由民主党亿万富翁资助的超级政治行动委员会干预共和党初选

在奥格尔斯看来，这是一次意在向共和党人表明：当议员试图收回可再生能源的政府资助时，将会面临何种后果。
与其他许多共和党人一样，奥格尔斯呼吁缩减拜登政府时期推出的可再生能源投资项目。
“当一个团体在共和党初选中斥资约200万美元时，这就能说明他们从政府补贴中获利多少，而他们对政府福利被取消感到不满，”奥格尔斯在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。
福克斯新闻数字频道对联邦选举委员会备案文件的审查发现，该超级政治行动委员会的资金来自克里斯·拉尔森——这位总部位于加州的亿万富翁是瑞波公司董事长。据其官网介绍，瑞波是一家为企业提供加密货币解决方案的金融科技公司。
拉尔森也是民主党常客，他已为卡玛拉·哈里斯失败的总统竞选活动捐款5,444,975美元。
奥格尔斯认为，除了反对政府支持的可再生能源计划之外，他与特朗普的密切关系也是自己成为目标的原因。
“这是因为我与总统关系密切，因为我直言不讳。坦率地说，是因为我在这些问题上讲话直截了当，”奥格尔斯说。

就哈彻本人而言，这位五代务农的田纳西州奶农将自己塑造成一个不受政治圈子和利益纠葛束缚的人。
“我认为华盛顿缺少一些东西：缺乏农民的常识，缺乏职业道德。我的优势之一是解决问题、寻求解决方案、寻求合作，并支持特朗普政府和议长约翰逊的议程，”哈彻在一段竞选视频中说道。
值得注意的是，田纳西州共和党州长于周二晚晚些时候公开支持哈彻，理由是两人之间的私人关系。
“他曾担任我的农业专员；我了解查理，我了解他的保守主义价值观，以及他对我们国家的热爱。查理从第一天起就一直站在特朗普总统一边，”李在一段视频中说道。
已背书奥格尔斯的特朗普在初选前再次表达了对这位保守派激进议员的支持。
“安迪将被真正铭记为你见过的最优秀的议员之一。他太棒了，”特朗普说。“每当我们需要他，每当我需要他的时候，安迪总会在那里。他帮了大忙，他激励了国会里的很多人，”特朗普今年早些时候在Truth Social上的一篇帖子中说道。

赢得共和党提名后，哈彻将进入11月3日的大选，他被视为胜算极大的候选人。他在2024年的选举中以56.9%比39.5%的优势击败玛丽娅·阿博法兹利成功连任。

Trump-backed incumbent loses primary after super PAC bankrolled by Dems meddled in race

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., was defeated in a primary challenge on Thursday evening by Republican challenger Charlie Hatcher, a farmer and the state’s former commissioner of agriculture.
Although the primary was far from a top-watched contest coming into the 2026 primaries, it served as a microcosm of larger forces at play in the Republican Party. From a break in endorsements between President Donald Trump and Tennessee’sRepublican Governor Bill Lee to millions being pumped into the district over environmental policy, the race attracted attention well beyond its borders.
The Invest in Tomorrow Coalition super PAC had spent roughly $2 million opposing Ogles and supporting Hatcher. The group has raised $6.7 million this year, making Ogles a sizable portion of their spending this cycle.

The way that Ogles sees it, it’s an attempt to show Republicans what happens when lawmakers attempt to claw back government funding for renewable energy sources.
Like many other Republicans, Ogles has called to scale back renewable energy investments made under the Biden Administration.
“When you have a group spending roughly $2 million in a Republican primary, that tells you how much money they’re making off of government subsidies, and they’re upset that the government welfare has been taken away from them,” Ogles told Fox News Digital in an interview.
A Fox News Digital review of FEC filings discovered that the super PAC is bankrolled by Chris Larsen, the California-based billionaire chairman of Ripple, a financial technology company that, according to its website, offers crypto solutions for businesses.
Larsen is also a frequent Democratic donor, having contributed $5,444,975 to support Kamala Harris’s failed presidential campaign.
More than just his opposition to government-backed renewable energy initiatives, Ogles thinks it’s his proximity to Trump that has made him a target.
“It’s because I’m close to the president. It is because I am outspoken. And quite frankly, it is because I speak plainly on these issues,” Ogles said.

For his own part, Hatcher, a fifth-generation Tennessee dairy farmer, has pitched himself as someone unencumbered by the political scene and ensnaring interests.
“I think there’s something missing in Washington. There’s a lack of farmer common sense. There’s a lack of work ethic. One of my strengths is problem-solving, looking for solutions, looking for collaborations and supporting the Trump Administration and Speaker Johnson on their agenda,” Hatcher said in a campaign video.
Notably, Tennessee’s Republican governor put his weight behind Hatcher late on Tuesday evening, citing a personal relationship between them.
“He served as my commissioner of agriculture; I know Charlie. I know his conservative values and how much he loves our country. Charlie has stood with President Trump since day one,” Lee said in a video.
Trump, who has endorsed Ogles, reaffirmed his support for the conservative firebrand ahead of the primary.
“Andy will be really enshrined as one of the best congressmen that you’ll ever see. He’s just fantastic,” Trump said. “Andy has always been there when we needed him and when I needed him. He’s been a great help. He’s been a source of inspiration to a lot of people in Congress,” Trump said in a post to Truth Social earlier this year.

Having captured the Republican nomination, Hatcher now advances to a general election he’s heavily favored to win on Nov. 3. He won re-election in 2024 in a 56.9% to 39.5% victory over Maryam Abolfazli.
