Vivek Ramaswamy, appointed by President Trump as co-chair of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), will not assume the role.<\/p>\n
Hours after news broke, sources confirmed he was no longer affiliated with DOGE.<\/p>\n
Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur and former presidential candidate, is expected to announce a campaign for Ohio governor next week. He previously helped create DOGE alongside Elon Musk but must step away due to the structure of the organization<\/p>\n
His move follows Ohio Governor Mike DeWine\u2019s decision to appoint Jon Husted to the Senate, spurring Ramaswamy\u2019s gubernatorial ambitions.<\/p>\n
Ramaswamy\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
