USA Trump supporter pulls out of panel on spending cuts
Donald Trump has to cope with his first departure as he takes office. Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy is withdrawing from his work for the "Doge" ("Department of Government Efficiency") committee initiated by Trump. Ramaswamy was supposed to develop proposals for cutting US government spending together with tech billionaire Elon Musk. "Vivek Ramaswamy has played a crucial role in the development of Doge. He intends to run for public office soon, which under the structure announced today means he can no longer remain part of Doge," Trump spokeswoman Anna Kelly told Deutsche Presse-Agentur. Although "Doge" is not officially part of the government, it has a close connection to it due to its job description. According to media reports, Ramaswamy is planning to run for governor of Ohio.
