Vivek Ramaswamy Departs DOGE to Launch Campaign for Ohio Governor

Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said Monday he will leave his position as co-chair of Trump’s incoming Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, and will mount a campaign to become governor of Ohio. According to Politico, DOGE co-chair Elon Musk made it known in recent days that he wanted Ramaswamy out. Three lawsuits filed in federal court Monday accuse DOGE of violating federal transparency laws. A fourth lawsuit filed by the Center for Biological Diversity seeks DOGE-related records under the Freedom of Information Act.
