is she expecting the same in alabama?> well, she's really hoping to get the same type of support here. you know, we all know that she had a he very decisive victory in. she's hoping with seven other southern state voting tomorrow that she could pull out big wins like that. we know in south korea she had strong, strong support among african-american voters. that's part of the reason she spent her time this weekend in alabama at miles coming, a historically black college here where she spoke to 3,000 people. she spoke directly to some of the issues that many african-americans voters are concerned about. she talked about criminal justice reform, raising the minimum wage. she's expected to come out with a victory, also realizing she has to get the african-american vote in states like alabama, georgia, and arkansas. >> we see all those signs that she's fighting for us. who is "us" and what are the issues that voters are talking about where you are, in alabama? >> well, a lot of voters, you have to keep in mind, especially when

can she expect the same in alabama? >> she's certainly polling high, hoping to continue that southern support. there are a number of states, southern states voting tom. they call it the sec primary. she held a rally and speech at miles college, a small historically black college i birmingham alabama. she hopes to continue that support here. >> what are some of the other big issues driving voters to the polls in this contest tomorrow there? >> one thing to think about it that a lot of voters here in alabama specifically are evangelical voters, conservative voters, about 70% of those gop are considered evangelical, so they're concerned about issues like abortion. they are talking about religious freedom. again as you mentioned earlier, the big issue everyone is talking about, including here in the south is immigration, illegal immigration and when donald trump held that big rally yesterday, that is what he talked about. that is what jeff sessions talked about. this is really continuing to be the big theme throughout the c

jonathan martin live for us in birmingham alabama right now. is session's endorsement a big win for donald trump? >> well, del it is certainly a significant boost. he's popular among the alabama republicans, and this means that trump has the first endorsement from an u.s. senator he's the first senator to come out and endorse donald trump. whether he needed it before tomorrow? likely not. if you look at the polls, donald trump has a commanding lead over his rivals. in fact, some of the polls show him ahead as by many 18 and 20 percentage points in the state of alabama. he did have a big rally in the state where easily 20,000 people came out. in fact, some of trumps' biggest rallies throughout the campaign so far have been in alabama where he continues to have strong strong support from conservatives and from evangelical voters. as far as who will finish in second here that remains to be seen. a few months ago it might have been seen that ted cruz was a shore shot. but now some polls show him in third as marco rubio has recently picked up key en
