Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is set to announce his campaign for governor of Ohio next week, marking his departure from Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency. The biotech entrepreneur was a prominent figure in DOGE, co-leading the federal spending watchdog effort with Elon Musk. Sources indicate his gubernatorial bid is incompatible with his role at DOGE. Sources say he is leaving on good terms. Trump transition spokesperson Anna Kelly praised Ramaswamy’s contributions to DOGE, adding that his decision aligns with the structure of the organization. Ramaswamy’s move reshapes Ohio’s 2026 gubernatorial race.
