Fresh off of his unexpected departure from President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, Vivek Ramaswamy has set his sights on becoming governor of Ohio, his home state.

Vivek Ramaswamy has landed Vice President JD Vance’s top political advisers to guide his soon-to-launch bid for governor in Ohio, a source involved in the planning told NBC News.

Ramaswamy will reportedly run for Ohio governor in 2026 after leaving the Department of Government Efficiency.

Vivek Ramaswamy will launch his campaign for Ohio governor next week after stepping away from the Trump administration’s efforts to cut spending.

He “just burned through the bridges and he finally burned Elon,” a Republican strategist close to Trump advisers told Politico. “Everyone wants him out of Mar-a-Lago, out of D.C.”
