Wamp Endorses Hatcher in Fifth District Race

Former Congressman Zach Wamp just threw his weight behind Charlie Hatcher in Tennessee’s Fifth District race — a bold move in a redrawn district now stretching from Memphis to Kentucky’s border. Hatcher, a dairy farmer and ex-state Agriculture Commissioner, is out-fundraising incumbent Andy Ogles — who’s got Trump’s backing — despite losing his old home base. Wamp, known for supporting candidates who sometimes defy Trump, adds intrigue to this heated GOP primary, while Democratic mayor Chaz Molder looms as a formidable general election opponent. With redistricting reshaping the map and endorsements swirling, this race is shaping up as one of the most politically charged in Tennessee.
