President Donald Trump appointed biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy
and Elon Musk to co-chair the newly revamped Department of Government
Efficiency (DOGE). However, Ramaswamy stepped down just hours after Trump’s
inauguration, citing plans to run for Ohio governor. Trump’s transition spokesperson praised,
Ramaswamy’s contributions to DOGE and his future role in supporting Trump’s agenda.
Ramaswamy confirmed his departure on social media,expressing confidence in Elon Musk’s
leadership at DOGE and hinting at upcoming announcements about his Ohio plans.
This development follows Ohio GOP Governor Mike DeWine’s announcement that Lt. Gov.
Jon Husted will fill the Senate seat vacated by new Vice President J.D. Vance
