Vivek Ramaswamy the co-chair of President-elect Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), plans to run for governor of Ohio, two sources confirmed to The Hill on Friday.
Ramaswamy also ran against Trump in the 2024 Republican primary before eventually suspending his campaign and endorsing the Republican president.
One of the sources said Ramaswamy’s plan was to “get accomplishments at DOGE” and then announce his gubernatorial bid.
Trump tapped Ramaswamy and fellow tech mogul Elon Musk to lead DOGE, an advisory group focused on cutting federal spending. Trump has indicated that DOGE’s work should wrap up in mid-2026, which could be just in time for Ramaswamy to make a potential run.
A second source close to Ramaswamy noted the run would only come after achieving some wins in DOGE for the president and the American people.
