Fulton County DA Election Results: Trump, YSL Trial At Center Of Race
GEORGIA — Incumbent Fani Willis has a hefty lead over challenger Courtney Kramer in the Fulton County district attorney’s race in the 2024 general election.
The local race has garnered national attention due to two high-profile cases being prosecuted by Willis’ office: one against former President Donald Trump and another resolved case against mainstream rapper Young Thug.
The polls closed at 7 p.m. in the 2024 general election in Georgia. Candidates must clear a 50 percent plus one vote threshold to avoid a runoff.
Willis, a Democrat who endured national scrutiny during her prosecution of Trump in a racketeering case, is seeking reelection against Kramer, a Republican attorney practicing election and political law.
Trump stands accused of trying to overturn the 2020 presidential results with 18 others in Georgia, and Willis has faced criticism after a supposedly private improper relationship with one of her top prosecutors on the case was made public.
The former president and his allies have worked to remove Willis from the closely watched case, but as of Election Day, Willis remained as prosecutor.
Willis’ office prosecuted another high-profile defendant, rapper Jeffery “Young Thug” Williams. During a nearly yearlong trial, Williams fought against gang and racketeering charges along with five others.
Prosecutors contended Williams was the leader of an alleged street gang, Young Slime Life, while his defense claimed YSL is Williams’ record label, Young Stoner Life. Multiple witnesses have also testified to this sentiment.
Four defendants, including Williams, have pled guilty to various charges in the case. Williams was ultimately sentenced to 40 years, with five years in prison commuted to time served and 15 years probation. He is also banned from metro Atlanta for the first 10 years of his probation, excluding times when he must hold four anti-gang presentations in the metro for the youth.
Two defendants, Shannon “SB” Stillwell and Deamonte “Yak Gotti” Kendrick, remain on trial – each facing at least one murder charge along with other charges.
Kramer has consistently turned to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say she would immediately end the YSL trial if she became district attorney.
Willis has not publicly responded to Kramer’s tweets.
In the race for top county prosecutor, Patch will update with the latest unofficial results from the Secretary of State’s office as they are filed.

Stolen bikes derail program that teaches Atlanta youth to ride
A program that teaches young Atlantans how to ride bikes suffered a major loss this week, after thieves emptied a storage trailer, making off with 26 bikes and 24 helmets.
The “Shifting Gears” program helps young cyclists learn how to navigate city streets on two wheels from an early age — particularly in underserved communities that suffer from high rates of traffic injuries and fatalities.

Thieves steal dozens of bikes meant for underprivileged kids from Atlanta nonprofit
An Atlanta nonprofit is asking the public for help after it was the victim of a brazen theft earlier this week.
Propel ATL said that thieves cleared out an entire trailer of bicycles meant for underprivileged kids sometime on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.
Jeremiah Jones, the nonprofit’s advocacy manager, said that someone broke into the trailer and took 26 bikes and 24 helmets.
The equipment was part of a program that gives bikes to children from low-income schools and teaches them how to ride.
“My heart sank when I got the call that all the bikes were gone. I said, ‘Surely not all of them.’ And all of them are gone,” Jones said. “This class is solely for kids, and this crime is affecting them.”
Atlanta police are reviewing security footage from the area. Jones said you could see people taking the bikes out of the trailer, carrying them down a hill, and bringing them into a nearby parking lot.
The nonprofit is now trying to raise more than $10,000 to replace the bikes.
Propel ATL is also asking who may have information about the theft to contact them at programs@letspropelatl.org.
