(Reuters) - Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton faces a run-off in the Republican Party primary and it is too early to call who the second candidate will be, CNN projected on Tuesday.

Paxton, who launched a failed legal effort to overturn the 2020 presidential results, had won the endorsement of former President Donald Trump.
