Ramaswamy Leaves DOGE for Ohio Governor Run

Vivek Ramaswamy is stepping down from his role as co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an initiative created by President Donald Trump alongside Elon Musk, as he prepares for a gubernatorial run in Ohio. This decision follows the appointment of Jon Husted to a Senate seat for which Ramaswamy was previously considered. Despite his departure, Ramaswamy remains on good terms with Trump and Musk, but he must leave DOGE due to structural requirements for running for elected office. Musk will now lead the initiative alone, facing challenges such as a lack of experience in federal budget management. Ramaswamy's political ambitions continue as he transitions from his previous presidential bid in 2024 to pursuing the Ohio governorship.
