Claim 1: “Rep. Andy Ogles loses his Republican primary in Tennessee”

DISPUTED

The claim states Rep. Andy Ogles lost his primary. However, the provided Wikipedia evidence explicitly states that Andy Ogles is currently 'serving as the U.S. representative for Tennessee's 5th congressional district since 2023'. Furthermore, the evidence regarding the 2026 elections indicates they will be held on November 3, 2026, meaning any primary for that cycle has not yet occurred or resulted in his removal from office.
