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.

    Two people can’t run the same bureau.

    You’d think there would be some government agency whose purpose it is to identify redundancies like that…

    Scaramucci is still the world champion, but Trump’s Token Indian Dude has officially earned a place on the “getting fired before the job actually existed” list. Props to him, I guess…?

    Lololz. Let the infighting begin. This entire bullshit smokescreen of an administration will be completely dissolved in a few months.
