She’s dealing will concerted efforts to get her OFF Donald Trump’s case…..
We’ll see if her Fulton Country, Georgia voters have her back …..
First, Willis must face the judgment of her constituents as she seeks another four-year term.
In Georgia’s Democratic primary on Tuesday, Willis will face local attorney Christian Wise Smith, who has said Willis “rightfully” brought charges against Trump and his allies but has suggested her focus on that case has left Fulton County residents “vulnerable” and other cases “neglected.”
The heaviest attacks are likely to come ahead of the general election, when Willis, if she secures the Democratic nomination in Tuesday’s primary, is expected to face Courtney Kramer, a Republican lawyer who interned in the Trump White House and was involved in Trump’s efforts to reverse his 2020 loss in Georgia. It is a long-shot campaign in heavily Democratic Fulton County but one that could greatly amplify criticism of the district attorney and the Trump case.
Willis, a longtime prosecutor known for her no-nonsense persona, has remained defiant amid the ongoing attacks and continued scrutiny of her sex life. She has strongly denied any wrongdoing and has insisted she’s not sorry or embarrassed about her relationship with Wade, which both have insisted had no impact on the election case….
…
But campaigning on the steps of Big Bethel AME earlier this month, the district attorney offered a barely concealed message to her critics, proclaiming that there “ain’t nobody above the law” and that she didn’t care how rich or powerful they were, what their political affiliation is or “how evil your supporters are.”
“I don’t care how many times they threaten me,” Willis declared. “I will gladly leave this place knowing that I did God’s work.”…
…
At a recent neighborhood parade in Atlanta’s historic Inman Park neighborhood, Willis waved to residents from the sunroof of a black sport utility vehicle, as other candidates — including McAfee, the judge — walked the route, shaking hands and posing for photos.
When Willis asked to walk part of the parade — as she had in past elections — her security advised against it, according to a person familiar with the discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. Still, many people cheered as Willis rode by, a sign of her popularity.
Ahead of Tuesday’s primary, Willis launched a 30-second television ad, charting a moderate path between her efforts to combat gangs and violent crime while also emphasizing community outreach and crime reduction programs aimed at young people. The spot features footage of Willis and her father, a civil rights lawyer and former Black Panther, and touts a significant drop in violent crime in Atlanta. There’s no mention of the Trump case.
“I’m just getting started,” Willis says in the ad.
Even as she is viewed as the favorite for reelection, Trump allies in Georgia and Washington have intensified their efforts to stymie Willis and her election case….

I hope she loses.
She endangered this whole case against Trump which,in my opinion.was by far the best one ,to enrich her unqualified paramour.
She’s a disgrace.
It WAS a dumb move…..
But I’m betting she gets RE-Elected……
The Trump case ain’t coming till next year…..
