Vance's Antichrist comments are a 'common belief', his friend tells BBC

US Vice-President JD Vance recently expressed on a podcast that he wouldn’t be shocked if the Antichrist was among us, and speculated about the end times. A friend, Rod Dreher, stated that these views are common within Christianity and not unusual for Republican voters. Vance clarified that he focuses on his duties as Vice-President and doing God’s work.

• JD Vance expressed thoughts on the Antichrist and “end times” during a Christian podcast.
• His friend Rod Dreher described these beliefs as “very, very common” within Christianity.
• Dreher suggested that such comments would not harm Vance politically, as many Republican voters share similar beliefs.
• Vance stated that he focuses on his responsibilities as Vice-President and doing God’s work, rather than dwelling on end times theories.
• The “end times” refer to Christian theories about the world’s conclusion, and the Antichrist is seen as an adversary of God.
• Dreher compared Vance’s comments to similar remarks made by former US President Ronald Reagan, which were considered normal by his voters.
