Republican businessman Vivek Ramaswamy is planning to leave his new appointment leading The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and announce a run for Ohio governor, according to two sources familiar with the planning.

Ramaswamy is expected to announce his run for governor early next week, the sources said.

President-elect Donald Trump had tapped Ramaswamy and Tech billionaire Elon Musk to lead the newly created DOGE, with the goal of slashing back government spending.
