John Kasich is staying in the Republican race despite losing Indiana, according to a campaign memo sent out Tuesday night.

“Tonight’s results are not going to alter Gov. Kasich’s campaign plans,”read the memo from Kasich chief strategist John Weaver. “Our strategy has been and continues to be one that involves winning the nomination at an open convention.”

The memo even claimed a victory of sorts, saying Kasich has secured Indiana delegates who will support the Ohio governor at “a multi-ballot convention."

The Kasich campaign agreed not to campaign in Indiana as part of a deal with the Cruz campaign aimed at stopping Donald Trump from winning the state.

Kasich has only won one contest, his home state of Ohio. He is currently in fourth place in the delegate race, even though only two candidates are still seeking the nomination. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who left the race in March, still has more delegates than Kasich.
