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.
