GA: Fani Willis' Chances of Losing Primary With 2 Weeks to Election

n two weeks, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is facing voters for the first time since launching her investigation into former President Donald Trump.

Willis rose to national prominence over her investigation into the former president's alleged attempts at overturning the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia, a swing state that narrowly backed President Joe Biden. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has accused Willis of targeting him for political purposes.

Republicans have scrutinized her conduct more closely amid the investigation, and Willis has faced several controversies ahead of the May 21 Democratic primary, in which she is set to battle challenger, attorney Christian Wise Smith.

Lawyers representing one of Trump's co-defendants pushed for her disqualification from the election interference case over her relationship with Nathan Wade, a prosecutor brought onto the investigation; Judge Scott McAfee ultimately declined to order her removal, instead saying Wade could remove himself.

I would think her chances of losing are about 5%, probably 10% before she indicted Trump LOL

The article content that specifically relates to the headline i.e. the Primary:

Still, according to one poll, Willis appears favored to win renomination against Wise Smith.

The poll was conducted by Georgia-based political consultant Fred Hicks and surveyed 1,000 likely Democratic voters from April 20 to 23. It found that 79 percent of respondents plan to back Willis in the primary, while 9 percent said they are voting for Wise Smith.

The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

She ran unopposed in the last General Election.
