  • Vivek Ramaswamy will not be part of President Donald Trump's new Department of Government Efficiency. Shortly after winning the presidential election, Trump announced that Ramaswamy would lead the department with Tesla founder Elon Musk. Its goal is to reduce government spending and increase efficiency.

Vivek Ramaswamy, a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, has announced that he will not accept a position in a hypothetical "Department of Government Efficiency" if he does not win the presidency. This statement was made in response to a question from Scripps News during a campaign event in Iowa. Ramaswamy emphasized his commitment to running for president, stating that his campaign is not a stepping stone for other political roles but a direct path to the presidency. He criticized the idea of government efficiency departments, arguing that they often lead to more bureaucracy rather than actual efficiency. Ramaswamy's focus remains on his presidential bid, underscoring his intention to lead the country rather than serve in a lesser capacity within the government.
