Politics and college football mixed in Tuscaloosa over the weekend. The University of Alabama defeated Georgia at Bryant-Denny Stadium. GOP Presidential hopeful Donald Trump was in the stands and Democrat Kamala Harris made her presence known with a nationally televised attack ad. APR News spoke with red fans and blue fans who made their feelings known about campaigning on game day.

University of Alabama student democrats and Trump supporters made their presence known during Saturday’s Alabama versus Georgia game. The Crimson Tide led by 28-0 at one point, defeating the Dogs finally 41-34. Going into the game, APR spoke with both sides who said politics is better left off the playing field.

Not everyone is happy Republican Presidential contender Donald Trump will be attending today’s college football game between Alabama and Georgia. The University of Alabama group called UA Student Democrats is holding an anti-Trump tailgate to voice their opposition to the former President’s presence on campus, and his candidacy in general.

Gunshots were reported in Donald Trump's vicinity Sunday afternoon. The former president is safe. The list of Presidents and Presidential contenders killed or attacked by gunman includes Alabama Governor George Wallace during his campaign to win the Democratic nomination for President in 1972.

Former President Donald Trump says that, if he wins a second term, he wants to make IVF treatment free for women, but did not detail how he would fund his plan or precisely how it would work. That prompted a rebuke from Gwen Walz, wife of Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, on the campaign trail. The controversy over IVF can be traced back,in part, to an Alabama Supreme Court ruling back in February that frozen embryos “are children.”

Vice presidential nominee Tim Walz and former President Bill Clinton headlined day three of the Democratic National Convention. The crowd also heard from Republicans with the message of “quit Trump.” That included a GOP voter from Alabama.
