Vivek Ramaswamy announced his departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), co-led with Elon Musk, to run for governor of Ohio. He expressed confidence in Musk's ability to streamline government in a post on X. Ramaswamy, who played a critical role in establishing DOGE, stated he would be making an announcement regarding his gubernatorial ambitions soon while continuing to support Donald Trump. Reports suggest that she has distanced himself from DOGE due to a structure requiring individuals running for office to exit such roles. Ramaswamy's move comes amid criticisms of American culture and the workforce, particularly regarding foreign worker employment in tech industries. Despite legal challenges facing DOGE regarding transparency, it aims to reduce federal spending through budget cuts and staff reductions. Current Ohio Governor Mike DeWine's second term will end in January 2027, setting the stage for Ramaswamy's potential candidacy.
