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.
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.
