Campaign strategy
In an April 2023 memo, Yoho wrote, "Vivek’s path to victory is straightforward and simple: only an outsider and non-politician will inherit the America First mantle. GOP voters simply do not trust career politicians. Every other candidate in this race, other than Vivek or Trump, has spent their lifetime as a professional politician. In contrast to Trump, Vivek will go even further based on first principles and moral conviction, in the tradition of President Reagan, rather than through vengeance, grievance, and victimhood."[3]
