Fani Willis, the Georgia prosecutor known for bringing charges against former President Donald Trump over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election as well as spearheading the case against Young Thug and his YSL associates, has won her bid for reelection in Fulton County as the District Attorney. In doing so, she defeated Republican challenger Courtney Kramer. Fulton County, which is home to much of Atlanta, has been a Democratic stronghold in the state of Georgia.
Despite the victory for Willis, it was a rough night overall for the Democratic party. Donald Trump declared victory by 2:30 AM, EST after the Associated Press called that he clinched at least 277 electoral college votes, passing the threshold for victory. During that speech, he promised to usher in a “golden age of America,” while labeling his campaign the “greatest political movement of all time.”

The House of Representatives, on the other hand, remains up for grabs, and those results could take days to be fully determined.
Kamala Harris decided not to speak about the results on Tuesday night, but she’s expected to concede at some point on Wednesday. Be on the lookout for further updates on Fani Willis, Donald Trump, and the 2024 election on HotNewHipHop.
