Vivek Ramaswamy will leave President Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a Trump transition spokesperson said Monday, according to The Associated Press.
The announcement follows Republican Ohio Mike DeWine tapping Lt. Gov. Jon Husted — instead of Ramaswamy — to fill the Senate seat vacated by Vice President JD Vance. Ramaswamy, who was slated to co-chair DOGE alongside Elon Musk, is widely speculated to be mulling a 2026 gubernatorial campaign in Ohio.
“Vivek Ramaswamy played a critical role in helping us create DOGE,” Anna Kelly, a spokesperson for Trump transition, told the outlet. “He intends to run for elected office soon, which requires him to remain outside of DOGE, based on the structure that we announced today. We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last 2 months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again.”
