JD Vance Debuts Bizarre New ‘Supernatural’ Talking Points

Vice President JD Vance has taken his religious talking points up a notch while promoting his book as part of a potential 2028 charm offensive.

In a bizarre interview with Kayleigh McEnany, 38, on Fox News’ Saturday in America, Vance, 42, appeared full of energy as he recounted a “supernatural” moment from his life—and even found time to quote the movie Pulp Fiction.

“I kind of came around a corner—I guess it had been raining—and I was going a little bit too fast,” Vance recalled, explaining that he was driving home from his grandmother’s funeral when his car began to spin before it “came to a perfectly gentle stop right as I was going to fall over the mountain.”

Vance went on to describe the moment as what he believes was “a little message” from God. He also recounted another such experience, recalling how “a glass fell off the wall” while he was attending a conference with a friend and talking about Christianity.

“You know, I think an atheist would dismiss that as, ‘Oh, who cares? A glass fell off the wall,’” he said, adding that to him, “it felt like God trying to send me a message.”

The vice president has been in the spotlight since the June release of Communion, his book about converting to Catholicism in his 30s. While Vance has laughed off questions about a potential 2028 presidential run, his seemingly endless media appearances have given him plenty of opportunities to test out his talking points.

For months, President Donald Trump, 80, has kept Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio guessing by suggesting he would be happy with either as the Republican nominee in 2028. But an Oval Office conversation reported by The Washington Post revealed that Trump told donors, “At the end of the day, we need to elect JD”—a comment that makes Vance’s increasingly candidate-like media blitz look a little less accidental.

Despite the president potentially having already made up his mind, Vance’s path to the Oval Office may not be as clear-cut as it once seemed, with prediction markets showing Rubio trailing close behind.

One way the vice president has increasingly portrayed himself in the media is through his Catholic faith. On Thursday, he called into Hugh Hewitt’s Salem News Channel show to defend himself after catching flak for a fat joke he made about Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen.

“You know, it was a joke, Hugh. I think there are ways in which you’re allowed to punch back, and you’re allowed to be a little bit humorous,” Vance said, adding that he respects Thiessen for being a “good Catholic” before invoking the Gospel to make his point that “Jesus has remarkable humility.”

Still, Vance’s habit of invoking Jesus has not stopped him from falling in line when Trump takes aim at the Catholic Church’s leader.
