据Decision Desk HQ预测，前田纳西州农业专员查理·哈彻将在田纳西州第5国会选区击败对手民主党人查兹·莫尔德、独立候选人詹姆斯·约翰逊和独立候选人米切尔·奥利里，赢得选举。
Former Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher is projected to win Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District over his opponents Democrat Chaz Molder, independent James Johnson and independent Micheál O’Leary, according to Decision Desk HQ.
哈彻在共和党初选中击败了特朗普支持的众议员安迪·奥格尔斯（田纳西州共和党人）后取得了这场胜利。自奥格尔斯于2022年从民主党手中夺下该席位以来，该席位一直由共和党保有。
The win comes after Hatcher defeated Trump-backed Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) in the GOP primary. The seat has been held by the GOP since Ogles flipped the seat from Democrats in 2022.
特朗普总统在哈彻战胜奥格尔斯后将他的支持转向哈彻，在Truth Social上写道：“祝你好运，查理！坚强勇敢地竞选。你拥有我完全和全面的支持！”
President Trump switched his endorsement to Hatcher following his win over Ogles, writing on Truth Social, “Good luck Charlie! Run tough and hard. You have my Complete and Total Endorsement!”
哈彻在其竞选网站上写道，他的立场是“支持持枪。支持生命。支持特朗普。农场强大。”由于第5国会选区在一次罕见的中期重划选区中被大幅重划——排除了纳什维尔的所有部分——该选区被认为有利于共和党。据DDHQ称，该地区是奥格尔斯在2024年以超过20,000票的差距输掉的地区。
Hatcher writes on his campaign website that his positions are “pro-Gun. Pro-Life. Pro-Trump. Farm Strong.”The race was favored for the GOP as the 5th Congressional District was majorly redrawn in a rare mid-decade redistricting effort — excluding all parts of Nashville. The area is one Ogles lost in 2024 by over 20,000 votes, according to DDHQ.
在一场针对莫尔德的公开论坛上，哈彻表示，他首要任务是解决生活成本问题。这位民主党人抨击哈彻关于特朗普的国际关税，预计这些关税将严重打击田纳西州。
At a public forum against Molder, Hatcher identified that his top priority was to tackle the cost of living. The Democrat attacked Hatcher on Trump’s international tariffs, which are projected to hit Tennessee hard.
哈彻为关税的战略使用辩护，称它们是“一种工具；有时可以有效地使用，有时则使用不当”，据《纳什维尔旗帜报》报道。
Hatcher defended the strategic use of tariffs, arguing that they are “a tool; they can be used effectively, sometimes badly,” according to the Nashville Banner.
“我们需要支持美国产业，我们需要支持美国农业，以便……不让其他国家把我们绑架，”他继续说道，并指出农业和钢铁是他认为可以使用关税来支持美国生产者的行业示例。
“We need to support American industries, and we need to support American agriculture so that we can … not have other countries hold us hostage,” he continued, pointing to agriculture and steel as examples of industries where he believes tariffs can be used to support American producers.
哈彻在论坛上表示，他偶尔与特朗普意见不合，特别是总统计划进口牛肉一事。该计划将从巴西和阿根廷进口30万公吨牛肉，为期90天免征关税，价格比当前市场价格低25%。
Hatcher stated at the forum that he had the occasional disagreement with Trump, particularly the president’s plan to import beef. The plan would import 300,000 metric tons of beef without tariffs for 90 days from Brazil and Argentina at 25 percent below current market prices.
