Listen to 'Down in Alabama' wherever you get your podcasts.
Thursday night is the big night, when Vice President Kamala Harris makes her speech and accepts the nomination for president.. Figures is the Democrat in that race to represent Alabama’s redrawn 2nd Congressional District.

One thing we’ve talked about here before is how the presidential race might affect District 2. Figures said it helps his campaign that Harris is a Black woman. Search warrants have been executed at those places, and the state claims they have slot machines and that illegal gambling is taking place. Authorities reported 24 slot machines at Mini Bingo alone.Dozens were lined up to wet a line as the pier fully opened up for the first time in years. Back on Sept. 16, 2020, a ribbon-cutting was planned to celebrate a couple million dollars’ worth of upgrades. And that’s when Hurricane Sally struck the coast.
