Vivek Ramaswamy to step away from DOGE due to friction with staff: report

Former GOP presidential nominee Vivek Ramaswamy, who was selected to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside tech mogul Elon Musk, will depart from the task force. The news comes after reports that Ramaswamy would be running for governor of Ohio, sources told CBS News.

Sources close to Musk have not spoken highly of Ramaswamy in recent weeks, with frustrations growing that the biotech multimillionaire wasn’t pulling his weight. There are also reports of friction between the incoming rank-and-file DOGE staff and Ramaswamy. 

"Vivek has worn out his welcome," one person close to Trump said to CBS News.
