Fani Willis

Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis is running for reelection in the Democratic primary in Georgia today as her prosecution of Donald Trump remains tied up in a state appellate court.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is fighting for another term as D.A. as her prosecution of former President Donald Trump and others in the Georgia 2020 election interference case remains tied up in a Georgia appellate court. 'I plan to win and win big,' Willis predicted in an interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Monday night. 'I am at a point where I need Fulton County voters to get out and vote.

Earlier this year, the district attorney disclosed a romantic relationship with former special prosecutor Nathan Wade who oversaw the case. Wade resigned in March after Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee issued a ruling rejecting efforts to disqualify Willis if Wade stepped aside. McAfee is also on today's ballot in a nonpartisan contest.
