JD Vance's Catholic faith could become a 'huge threat' to his ambitions for the White House in 2028, according to a Christian analyst, as the US vice-president attempts to build support among evangelical and Catholic voters.

Vance converted to Catholicism in 2019 and has made his religious journey increasingly central to his public identity.
