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.

    He’s running for governor of Ohio. God damn that poor fucking state. I mean really I know they deserve it to some extent cuz they keep voting for these people, but they have just some of the worst most soul-crushing politicians the last 30 years I’ve ever seen

        I can’t tell if you mean Louisiana or Los Angeles. Louisiana makes more sense in this context because we are talking about state government here, so bringing up Los Angeles would be really stupid.

        Yeah, if L.A. didn’t have a lesbian firefighter in charge of fighting these fires, there would never be any wildfires in Los Angeles County.

        Lesbianism causes pyrokinesis. FACT.

        We’re just lucky she’s white.

          What the FUCK is wrong with you? Everybody knows that only the lesbians that gather in covens to drink menstrual blood by the light of the new moon get pyrokenesis the rest just get headaches as they have to deal with constant misogyny.

          You can’t just claim all lesbians are pyrokinetic

          Final edit: could they be talking about Louisiana? They said LA not L.A.
