Usatîi's political positions have been described as populist and anti-establishment.[4] He participated in the 2014 Moldovan parliamentary election as a candidate on the electoral list of the political party "Patria". The party was excluded from the race three days before the election, a decision declared arbitrary by the European Court of Human Rights.[5] Usatîi intended to participate in the 2016 Moldovan presidential election but was unable to after a decision of the Constitutional Court of Moldova changed the minimum age required for someone to serve as president from 35 to 40. He voiced the opinion that the court's decision was issued to specifically prevent him from running for president.[6] The president of the Constitutional Court later denied the accusations.[7] Usatîi participated in the 2020 Moldovan presidential election and came in third, securing 16.9% of the votes.
