WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) In his first campaign move of the 2020 election year, President Donald Trump on Friday will visit a mega-church in Miami to highlight his support among evangelicals as he aims to shore up and expand support from an influential piece of his political base.

The president will host the kickoff meeting of Evangelicals for Trump just days after he was the subject a scathing editorial in the Christianity Today magazine that called for his removal from office. But Trumps campaign believes that his record in office, including the installation of two Supreme Court justices, will cement the votes of religious conservatives this year.

I think his record in the past three years is rock-solid in things that the faith community cares about him, said Jentezen Franklin, a pastor to a megachurch in Georgia. We used to see politicians once every four years but this one is totally different in constantly reaching out to the faith community and we even get a chance to tell him when we disagree.
