(AP) — Vice President Mike Pence's visit Friday to Colorado to celebrate the anniversary of Focus on the Family comes at a time of change for the religious right during the age of President Donald Trump. "There was an emerging view that the evangelical movement had become too politicized," said Ralph Reed, a prominent evangelical political strategist. "Jesus does not go after Caesar much — he dealt with people at their point of need," Daly said, touting the ministry's radio show, counseling and efforts promoting foster care and adoption. Trimpa recalled a private meeting with Daly and several younger religious conservatives before the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. Trump won the support of 80 percent of evangelicals, according to exit polls — the highest percentage for a presidential candidate on record. Since Trump entered the White House, polls have shown religious voters to be his most steadfast supporters. Much of the energy that conservative religious voters put behind Trump stemmed from the anxiety they felt during the Obama years, when gay marriage became legal and religious employers were required to provide health insurance that covered birth control.
