Vivek Ramaswamy expected to depart DOGE

Vivek Ramaswamy, chosen by Donald Trump to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Elon Musk, is expected to step down soon, CBS News reports. Sources say Ramaswamy, 39, plans to announce a bid for Ohio governor by month’s end.

Insiders claim Musk’s team criticized Ramaswamy’s limited contributions, leading to friction with incoming DOGE staff. “Vivek has worn out his welcome,” a Trump associate stated.

Ramaswamy recently met with Ohio Governor Mike DeWine regarding a Senate vacancy, but DeWine appointed his lieutenant governor instead.

DOGE, not a formal federal agency, aims to streamline bureaucracy and cut spending, with its recommendations due by July 2026.

Before politics, Ramaswamy, a Yale Law graduate, amassed wealth in biotech and hedge funds. Known for opposing “woke” policies, he maintains a cautious alliance with Trump.
