Georgia prosecutor from Trump case gets unexpected election rival

In Atlantaʼs high-stakes district attorney race Fani Willis – who leads the well-known investigation of ex-president Trumpʼs actions after the 2020 election faces an out-of-nowhere opponent. The challenger Courtney Kramer (who worked as a White House legal intern during Trumps term) wants to shake-up the DA office

The contest for Fulton Countyʼs top prosecutor job comes at an interesting time – just months after Willis won her parties nomination in 05/24. Her work on the Trump case which looks into post-election activities has gotten lots of attention; making this race more notable than usual

Kramer says she wants to bring fresh ideas and better oversight to how things work: her background includes time spent in the previous administrations legal department. Meanwhile Willis doesnt seem worried about keeping her job; having already beat another candidate in the spring primary with no problems. The election for this important position in Georgiaʼs biggest county is now heating-up as voting day gets closer
