Franklin Graham’s tour evokes evangelical support for Trump
(Chris Seward | The Associated Press) Audience members join hands in worship at the the Rev. Franklin Graham's Decision America event at the Pitt County Fairgrounds in Greenville, N.C., on Wednesday, Oct. 2, 2019. In August, a Pew Research survey found 77% of white evangelical Protestants approving of Trump’s performance. Those who report attending church weekly were more likely to approve than those who attend less often, 81% versus 73%. Greenville, N.C. • The Rev. Franklin Graham did not utter the word “impeachment” as he spoke to thousands of Christians here this week, the latest stop on a long-running tour he has dubbed Decision America — a title with political and religious undertones.
