On the same note, Judge Scott McAfee, presiding over the Trump case, has also emerged victorious in his nonpartisan election for the Fulton County Superior Court. McAfee was appointed to the bench in the year 2022 by the Republican Governor, Brian Kemp, and he outperformed his opponent, Robert Patillo, in the election.
The successes of both Willis and McAfee are essential for further court cases against Trump. The case produced several issues and setbacks, such as controversies surrounding Willis’s ability to continue prosecuting the case for her past dating relationship with some of the lawyers involved.
Willis and McAfee’s primary wins are expected to enable them to remain fully involved in the high-stakes election interference case of the year that has attracted national attention. The following critical political point in the legal battle over Trump’s actions in Georgia will be the general election in November.
