Last time Vice President Mike Pence visited San Antonio, it was to meet with the surviving victims of the Sutherland Springs church massacre ( and talk about it in the middle of a high school football field). Pence will return Friday morning for a slightly less altruistic reason: To fundraise for sitting President Donald Trump.Pence is set to fly in to San Antonio Friday to stump at a closed-door fundraiser for Trump Victory — a group that finances Trump's election campaign and the Republican National Committee.According to the White House, Pence will then join Senator Ted Cruz in McAllen for a tour of the Texas-Mexico border, guided by U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Cruz, who's fighting to keep his senate seat this election season, will likely use the opportunity for some campaign-boosting photoshoots. On Saturday, Pence heads to Dallas for a few more campaign fundraisers, including one with Protect the House, a group rallying behind vulnerable Republican members of Congress.
