Vivek Ramaswamy Exits D.O.G.E. to Pursue Ohio Governorship
Vivek Ramaswamy, the entrepreneur and 2024 Republican presidential hopeful, has stepped down from his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This announcement came just hours after former President Donald Trump resumed office, marking a shift in Ramaswamy’s political trajectory as he gears up for a gubernatorial bid in Ohio.
Anna Kelly, spokesperson for DOGE, confirmed Ramaswamy’s departure, emphasizing his pivotal contributions. “Vivek Ramaswamy played a critical role in helping us create DOGE,” Kelly stated. “He intends to run for elected office soon, which requires him to remain outside of DOGE based on the structure we announced today. We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last two months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again.”
Sources close to the matter revealed that Ramaswamy plans to formally announce his campaign for Ohio governor in the coming week. While the exact timing of his decision remains undisclosed, insiders suggest it became increasingly evident that balancing his federal responsibilities with a gubernatorial campaign was untenable.
