Dao is from Los Angeles, California and is of Vietnamese and Italian descent.[2] During his high school graduation, Dao was honored as the valedictorian of his graduating class. Initially a progressive, he shifted towards conservatism after watching Tucker Carlson on Fox News while working on a school project.
Vince Dao is a conservative social media influencer and political commentator, and was a founding member and chief spokesperson of the American Populist Union (now called American Virtue), known for promoting social conservatism, and populist economic views. Dao began by gaining a following on platforms like Instagram and Youtube,[2] where he defends Christian views on marriage, questions foreign interventions by the United States, and advocates for a more active role of Christianity in the American policy-making process.[4][5] He specializes in producing online media content, interviews, public speaking, podcasts, short videos and organizing gatherings, and has shared the stage with Republican political figures Don Huffines, Anthony Sabatini, and Michael Knowles.[3] He has been a guest speaker at Emory University, Tom Shattuck's Burn Barrel, The Daily Wire, Turning Point USA, BlazeTV, Newsmax, and OAN.[6][7][8][9][10] Additionally, he currently serves as the host of the Freedom Broadcasting Network's program "National Conservative," on The Roku Channel. [11] He was also featured on Vice News.[9]
Dao's former organization, the American Populist Union, has endorsed New Jersey politician Mike Crispi in his 2022 congressional bid.[12] The American Populist Union has been accused of attempting to sabotage Turning Point USA, alongside the Groypers.[13] He has criticized academic administrator Ben Sasse, as "not being conservative enough."[14]
Dao presently attends the University of Florida as an undergraduate student.
