[CRAIG NIGRELLI]
PRESIDENT-ELECT DONALD TRUMP’S PICK TO CO-HEAD THE DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY WITH TESLA OWNER ELON MUSK, VIVEK RAMASWAMY, MAY HAVE OTHER PLANS.
ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE REPORTS, RAMASWAMY IS EXPECTED TO STEP AWAY FROM THE TASK FORCE TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR OF OHIO.
C-B-S NEWS IS REPORTING RAMASWAMY MAY ANNOUNCE HIS RUN AS SOON AS THE END OF THE MONTH, MULTIPLE CONFIDENTIAL SOURCES CLOSE TO TRUMP TOLD THE NEWS OUTLET.
SO FAR, RAMASWAMY HASN’T CONFIRMED THE REPORTS.
THE NEWS COMES AS MUSK IS REPORTEDLY PRIVATELY EXPRESSING FRUSTRATION WITH RAMASWAMY OVER HIS LACK OF PARTICIPATION IN BRAINSTORMING DOGE POLICY, WHICH IS AN UNOFFICIAL GOVERNMENT ADVISORY BOARD DESIGNED TO ELIMINATE GOVERNMENT SPENDING DEEMED WASTEFUL.
ONE PERSON CLOSE TO THE TRUMP TEAM TOLD C-B-S NEWS QUOTE:
“VIVEK HAS WORN OUT HIS WELCOME.”
RAMASWAMY’S POTENTIAL DEPARTURE FROM DOGE COULD REPORTEDLY JEOPARIDIZE THE TASK FORCE, WHICH AIMS TO CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING BY UP TO TWO-TRILLION DOLLARS BY JULY 2026.
NEITHER MUSK NOR TRUMP’S TRANSITION TEAM HAVE OFFICIALLY COMMENTED ON THE REPORTS.
RAMASWAMY RECENTLY MET WITH OHIO’S GOVERNOR MIKE DEWINE, WHO IS TERM-LIMITED, OVER THE STATE’S SENATE SEAT LEFT VACANT BY VICE PRESIDENT J-D VANCE BUT DEWINE HAS SINCE SAID HE’S APPOINTING HIS LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JON HUSTED TO FILL THE SENATE SEAT.
RAMASWAMY, THE CO-FOUNDER OF A BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANY, HAS NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE IN POLITICS OTHER THAN HIS 2024 PRESIDENTIAL RUN.
