Tennessee GOP Removes 40 Candidates from Primary Ballot: The Tennessee Republican Party has disqualified 40 candidates from the August primary, mostly challenging incumbent Republicans in state Senate and House races. The decision impacts two gubernatorial hopefuls, two Senate contenders, seventeen House candidates, and nineteen for the state executive committee. The partys bylaws require candidates to show active involvement, be registered voters, and vote Republican in at least three of the past four statewide primaries. Candidates who donate to other parties or sue the party in the last decade are automatically disqualified. Among those removed is Cade Cothren, a former top House aide convicted on corruption charges but later pardoned by Trump. The affected candidates can appeal and submit proof to regain ballot spots before the primary.
