Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis fights to keep her job as Georgia primary reelection battle draws attention

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." 

The 52-year-old prosecutor is running for reelection in the Democratic primary Tuesday against attorney and author Christian Wise Smith. He previously challenged Willis in 2020, along with then-incumbent District Attorney Paul Howard.
