This judge has to get re-elected in a majority minority county. You think he is on the bench for being tough?
Actually, he's on the bench because he was appointed by the Governor to fill a vacancy. He will be facing his first election in November.
What will be interesting with voters is that McAfee would not be removing Willis as District Attorney (he can't do that), he would only be disqualifying her from the case for conflict-of-interest. Unless the black voters of Atlanta hate President Trump, they may not be so harsh on McAfee as Willis will stay as the District Attorney no matter what McAfee rules.
