Vivek Ramaswamy, who was appointed by President Trump as co-chair of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), will not be taking on this position. Shortly after the announcement, sources indicated that he is no longer associated with DOGE. Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur and former candidate for the presidency, is anticipated to declare his campaign for the governorship of Ohio next week. He was instrumental in the establishment of DOGE alongside Elon Musk but is required to withdraw due to the organization’s structure. This decision comes in the wake of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s choice to appoint Jon Husted to the Senate, which has prompted Ramaswamy to pursue his gubernatorial aspirations. His previous presidential campaign concluded with a disappointing result in the Iowa caucuses, after which he became a prominent supporter of Trump, a factor that may bolster his chances in the predominantly Republican state.
