Atlanta-area voters have voted in favor of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in Georgia’s Democratic primary, The Associated Press projected. Willis became a target for conservatives due to her investigation — and eventual indictment — of Donald Trump in his election-related racketeering case. She remains on the case despite allegations that a romantic relationship she had with a prosecutor on her team should disqualify her, but Georgia Republicans continue to find ways to target her.
“When you pay one attorney $1 million to handle a case, it hurts everyone else in Fulton County,” Wise Smith said in April. “We have to see through while addressing everything else affecting Fulton.” But Fulton County voters showed Tuesday that they want Willis to remain at the helm. She has prioritized rooting out gang violence, including the high-profile racketeering case involving rapper Young Thug, and the Atlanta area saw significant decreases in violent crime in 2023.
