While it's true that Birmingham is overwhelmingly white, the suburbs, especially the over-the-mountain ones are about the opposite. I would bet you that is where his crowd came from. Homewood, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, Hoover, and Northern Shelby County are some of the communities involved.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
