Ramaswamy Resigns from Trump’s Government Efficiency Commission, Eyes Ohio Governorship

Vivek Ramaswamy has officially stepped down from the Department of Government Efficiency, which he was appointed to by President Donald Trump alongside Elon Musk. His departure was confirmed just hours after Trump took office and comes as Ramaswamy is signaling plans to run for governor of Ohio. Commission spokesperson Anna Kelly praised Ramaswamy's contributions, indicating his departure was necessary due to the commission's structural requirements for elected office candidates. Ramaswamy had previously sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 and has a background in hedge funds and pharmaceutical research. His exit is seen as a strategic move as he transitions to a new political campaign.
