Shortly after winning the presidential election, Trump announced that Ramaswamy would lead the department with Tesla founder Elon Musk.
She added, "We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last 2 months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again."
Ramaswamy is reportedly considering a run for governor in his home state of Ohio. That prevents him from serving in DOGE, according to Kelly.
A son of Indian immigrants, Ramaswamy vaulted onto the national stage after launching his campaign for president in 2023. While expressing support for Trump, he positioned himself as a person who could take the "America First" movement to the next level.
