Ramaswamy steps down from DOGE to run for Ohio Governor

The former presidential candidate is reportedly making a move to run for office in Ohio.

Vivek Ramaswamy has stepped down from President Donald Trump’s Government Efficiency Commission shortly after Trump’s inauguration.

  • Ramaswamy had been appointed to lead the commission alongside Elon Musk.

The big picture: Departure from the commission was confirmed on the same day Trump assumed office.

  • Instead of serving on the commission, Ramaswamy is eyeing a run for the governor of Ohio.

What they’re saying: Commission spokesperson Anna Kelly said Ramaswamy played a critical role in helping to create DOGE. 

  • “He intends to run for elected office soon, which requires him to remain outside of DOGE, based on the structure that we announced today,” Kelly said in a statement. “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.”
