Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said “there is no one above the law in this country” after winning the Georgia Democratic primary election on Tuesday.
Willis, who is prosecuting Donald Trump in his Georgia election interference indictment, beat attorney Christian Wise Smith in her bid for a second term with nearly 90 percent of the vote, according to Associated Press figures.
In her victory speech, Willis expressed gratitude to her voters. “I am just so humbled and so grateful to the citizens of Fulton County who made this possible,” she said.
“Tonight they delivered a strong and a powerful message. They want a District Attorney that believes everyone deserves to be safe and everyone is entitled to some dignity. And it’s a message that’s pissing folks off, but there is no one above the law in this country, nor is there anyone beneath it.”
