A progressive Democrat and a Republican who briefly worked in Donald Trump’s administration have entered the district attorney’s race in Fulton County, Georgia, where the former president is being prosecuted.
PoliticsFILE - Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis looks on during a hearing on the Georgia election interference case, Friday, March, 1, 2024, in Atlanta.
“I've said it before, being the district attorney of Fulton County is the greatest honor of my entire life,” Willis told reporters Wednesday after qualifying to run. “I love this community. It's my home. It's where I raised my children. It's where I want to keep safe.” Kramer told reporters at the state Capitol on Friday that the district attorney's office under Willis “has been a complete disgrace” and “a clown show.” She accused Willis of “using her office for political reasons,” saying the Trump indictment prompted her to run.
A critical juncture in her tenure as district attorney is expected to come by the end of next week. That's when McAfee has said he expects to rule on the efforts to oust her from the election case. In an email, McAfee said he looks forward to proving to voters that"my track record shows I am the best candidate to provide Fulton County with efficient, unbiased, and nonpartisan application of the law.”
