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

Summary

Vivek Ramaswamy, co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Trump, is expected to step down to launch a campaign for Ohio governor.

Sources report friction between Ramaswamy, Elon Musk, and incoming DOGE staff, with Musk’s team criticizing his lack of participation and subtly encouraging his exit.

“Vivek has worn out his welcome,” one Trump associate said.

DOGE, a task force to streamline federal bureaucracy, is not a formal agency.

    Do you think if they had chosen a more Hindi or Indian sounding nickname she would call herself that?

      What a strange and bigoted thing to say. You’re now suggesting she shouldn’t use the name her family calls her because it sounds to white despite the fact that it’s technically spelled ਨਿੱਕੀ. But that tends to not be accepted on U.S. I.D.s.

      If she were Chinese and had a name she spelled Lee, would she be trying to sound white or are there Chinese names that sound like Western ones?

        If you keep using the word bigoted to include regular mundane discussion it will cease to have meaning.

          If you are saying South Asian people only have South Asian names they have used for their entire life that mean something in a South Asian language so that they can sound white, you are being bigoted. Sorry you don’t like that truth.
