TL;DR
- 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.
