Tide, Tigers and Trump: President hopes for home-field advantage in Alabama

"Presumably a college football crowd in Alabama is going to be a friendlier audience and an audience that’s kind of his base in that part of the country," said Guian McKee, an associate professor of presidential studies at the Miller Center at the University of Virginia.
