Fulton County District Attorney Fani T. Willis defeated challenger Christian Wise Smith in Georgia’s Democratic primary as she seeks another four-year term as the Atlanta-area’s top prosecutor, according to an Associated Press projection.
Kramer, who ran unopposed in Tuesday’s primary, faces long odds of winning in heavily Democratic Fulton County, but her campaign is likely to amplify criticism of Willis and the Trump case at a time of mounting Republican attacks and investigations aimed at the incumbent district attorney and her handling of the Trump case.
Willis’s leadership and judgment has faced intense scrutiny in recent months amid allegations that she hired a romantic partner to lead the criminal case against Trump.
In March, McAfee ruled Willis could continue prosecuting the Trump case, as long as Nathan Wade, the special prosecutor she had appointed and had a romantic relationship with, resigned.
In her bid for reelection, Willis has largely avoided directly talking about the Trump case — a position that went unchallenged by her primary opponent.
Willis pointed to the influx of national Republican donations and support already going to Kramer, whom she described as “unqualified” for the role of district attorney, citing her lack of experience including never having tried a criminal case.
