Before President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office, NBC News confirms Vivek Ramaswamy is leaving DOGE and intends to announce his candidacy for Ohio governor. The Department of Government Efficiency is a new advisory body proposed by Trump and was to be run by Ramaswamy and Elon Musk.
James Fishback, an investment firm CEO who serves as an outside adviser to President Donald Trump’s government efficiency advisory commission, told NBC News on Tuesday he’s tossing his hat in the ring to fill the void left there by Vivek Ramaswamy’s departure. Ramaswamy, who signed on as a co-chair of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, shortly after Trump’s victory in November, announced Monday that he will be leaving to launch a bid for governor in Ohio.
And I am willing to step up if that is something they still want to do.” Ramaswamy, who built a plank in his presidential bid around deregulation and finding new ways to slash the federal workforce, had been expected to focus his attention on those issues. His co-chair, tech billionaire Elon Musk, would focus his time on finding ways to dramatically cut government spending. “The regulatory piece is really important,” Fishback said.
