Vivek Ramaswamy is set to announce his gubernatorial campaign for Ohio, succeeding his role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) led by Elon Musk. His exit aligns with reports of internal friction at DOGE and reflects his intent to maintain a clear campaign focus separate from federal duties. Ramaswamy, who previously ran for the GOP presidential nomination, is a prominent figure in Trump’s political circle and has been publicly considering this move following the recent appointment of Lt. Gov. Jon Husted to the Senate seat left vacant by JD Vance.
