Texas Runoff Elections: Key Battles for Paxton and Abbott

Texas House runoff elections on Tuesday could solidify political retribution for Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton against Republican incumbents who opposed them on key issues like school vouchers and Paxton's impeachment. Abbott and Paxton have targeted 16 Republican lawmakers, with five seats already flipped and four more at risk. High-profile races include House Speaker Dade Phelan's battle in District 21 and several other incumbents facing challengers backed by Abbott and Paxton. Federal races also feature runoffs, including the contest to succeed Rep. Kay Granger and Rep. Tony Gonzales's reelection bid.
