Vivek Ramaswamy, appointed by President Trump

as co-chair of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE),

will not assume the role.Hours after news broke,

sources confirmed he was no longer affiliated with DOGE,

Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur

and former presidential candidate, is expected to announce a campaign for

Ohio governor next week.

He previously helped create DOGE alongside

Elon Musk but must step away due to the structure of the organization.

His move follow

s Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s decision to appoint

Jon Husted to the Senate,

spurring Ramaswamy’s gubernatorial ambitions.

Ramaswamy’s past presidential

bid ended after a poor finish in the Iowa caucuses,

and he became a vocal Trump supporter,

which may enhance his gubernatorial prospects in the red state.
