Trump's choice to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency is expected to announce a gubernatorial campaign after the new administration begins.

Summary

Vivek Ramaswamy, co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Trump, is expected to step down to launch a campaign for Ohio governor.

Sources report friction between Ramaswamy, Elon Musk, and incoming DOGE staff, with Musk’s team criticizing his lack of participation and subtly encouraging his exit.

“Vivek has worn out his welcome,” one Trump associate said.

DOGE, a task force to streamline federal bureaucracy, is not a formal agency.

    Meh, I guess we are just going to have to disagree on some things, I believe that it’s okay to scrutinize our politicians and their decisions they have made in life to a higher degree than what might be acceptable for a regular citizen.

    She put herself in the public spotlight in a way that other citizens have not done, and our politicians deserve scrutiny. The policies she has advocated for in the past are quite atrocious which does not help her cause in my opinion but obviously others support her to some degree.

    I would consider this a non issue if it were someone who was even in the same ballpark as me politically, but regardless I do see how it is an issue that could have some relevance to be discussed, even if I agreed with her for the most part politically.
