He visited the Corpus Christi area, which was the point of initial landfall for Hurricane Harvey in the state. Under the blistering heat of open Texas skies, Pence made his first stop of the day in Rockport, where he was joined by Texas Gov. Pence stopped by a church that was badly damaged by the storm, First Baptist Church, where he was joined by evangelical pastor Franklin Graham. The Cabinet secretaries and the vice president joined Graham in prayer, bowing their heads along with about 100 people from local congregations.
