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

Vivek Ramaswamy plans to bail on President-elect Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to focus on his ambitions to become Governor of Ohio, according to reports. Sources close to the situation told CBS News that his counterpart at the newly-formed panel,

DOGE, created by US President-elect Trump, is an advisory group working to streamline government operations, reduce spending, and reorganise agencies by 2026

CBS News reported on Sunday that people close to Elon Musk, who is the other co-chair, at DOGE have been flouting Ramaswamy’s co-leadership due to frustration that he isn’t keeping up with his share of the work at the organization.

Amid tensions in DOGE, Vivek Ramaswamy plans to announce a gubernatorial campaign for Ohio, potentially stepping down from his role.
