Ramaswamy Leaves DOGE Amid Staff Friction, Plans Ohio Governor Bid
Jan 20, 2025, 09:54 PM
Vivek Ramaswamy will not serve in President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the White House confirmed, leaving Elon Musk to lead the initiative alone. Ramaswamy, who was selected to co-lead the government cost-cutting effort with Musk, is preparing to announce a campaign for Ohio governor early next week ahead of the 2026 election. Reports indicate that friction with staff contributed to his departure, with a source close to Trump stating, 'Vivek has worn out his welcome.' Additionally, people close to Musk have reportedly been frustrated with Ramaswamy's lack of participation in the initiative.
