Welcome to politics, Casey.
Real politics. The blood-sport kind.

You don’t walk into a statewide Ohio primary six months late with no money, no donors, no consultants, no endorsements, and no party backing and call it a campaign.

That’s not courage. That’s fantasy. This race started a year ago. The frontrunner is Trump-endorsed, JD Vance-backed, and fully wired into the party.

Meanwhile you’ve got online noise and the belief that internet enthusiasm replaces infrastructure. It doesn’t. Coalitions win elections. Factions lose them.

Your entire message is built on federal issues, H-1Bs, immigration, deportations, things a governor does not control.

You’re campaigning like you’re running for U.S. Senate and hoping voters won’t notice. They will. Add in a late entry, a polarizing platform, personal attacks on the frontrunner, and zero path to expand beyond a narrow online slice, and the math is obvious.

This isn’t a movement. It’s a spoiler. The Democrats don’t need to touch you, they’ll just let you do their work for them.

This isn’t cruelty. It’s reality.
And reality is undefeated. 🇺🇸

I think Vivek is likely the best candidate for Ohio governor based on merit...he will do good for the state and Columbus, Ohio...I won't vote for him because of his position of H-1B visa program, that's my short sighted choice, as of now.

I don’t think he’s qualified.

His competition is Amy Acton...Ohioans will have to choose their poison.

I’m not in Ohio, I don’t get the vote. But I’d vote for liberal over slimy salesman asshole that he is. Can’t stand Vivek.
