Vivek Ramaswamy speaks before Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally at Madison Square Garden, Sunday, Oct. 27, 2024, in New York. COLUMBUS, Ohio—Ohio biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy has been named by President-elect Donald Trump to co-run a new “Department of Government Efficiency,” a move he says removes him from being appointed to Vice President-elect JD Vance’s soon-to-be-open U.S. Senate seat.
The department, according to the release, will wrap up its work by July 4, 2026 – the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. He added, “half-jokingly – though it’s only half-jokingly," that “the mass deportation that will really save this country is the mass deportation of millions of unelected federal bureaucrats out of the D.C. bureaucracy and into the private sector.”
“Whoever Governor DeWine appoints to JD’s seat has some big shoes to fill,” Ramaswamy stated. “I will help them however I can.”-- hardly a good look for a Senate appointee who would have to win over Buckeye State voters in a 2026 special election and the 2028 general in order to hold onto the seat.that the governor won’t choose someone who is “primarily doing work on social media or on a speaking circuit.
