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.

      Please do show me where she used her childhood Punjabi nickname to convince people she’s white.

      My god, there are so many legitimate things to criticize her for and people are just stuck on something that isn’t.

        Yea I don’t care about her name as much as I do about her policy for sure, it’s just an interesting point someone brought up about how Vivek may have trouble getting elected with a “foreign” sounding name.

        As someone who has traveled across the country multiple times i am slightly weary of going through Ohio because of hillbilly racism, and I am a white dude
