Vance’s Antichrist musings reflect a common Christian belief, friend says

US Vice-President JD Vance said on a Christian podcast that he wouldn’t be shocked if the Antichrist was walking among us, while stressing such thoughts don’t preoccupy him. His friend Rod Dreher told the BBC this belief is very common among Christians and may reflect concerns about a chaotic world and AI; Vance, who converted to Catholicism, said he’s focused on his duties and doing God’s work rather than end-times speculation.
