Vivek Ramaswamy to exit Trump’s DOGE task force
3:19 pm UTC: Vivek Ramaswamy, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Elon Musk, is expected to step down soon, CBS News reported on Jan. 20.
Multiple sources confirm that Ramaswamy plans to launch a campaign for Ohio governor by the end of January. His departure follows allegations of internal friction, with Musk’s allies frustrated over his lack of involvement. Sources suggest Ramaswamy was subtly encouraged to exit due to tensions with DOGE staff.
The DOGE is set to face a lawsuit alleging violations of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972. The legal action is expected to be filed shortly after President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.
Trump’s inauguration
2:23 pm UTC: Donald Trump will take his oath of office on Jan. 20 at 12:00 pm ET. The president-elect announced last week that the Inauguration Address will take place indoors due to extreme weather caused by the “Arctic blast sweeping the country.”
“Therefore, I have ordered the Inauguration Address, in addition to prayers and other speeches, to be delivered in the United States Capitol Rotunda, as was used by Ronald Reagan in 1985, also because of very cold weather,” said Trump.
According to NPR, Trump’s inauguration will be attended by tech moguls Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew. Trump’s transition team also confirmed that Chinese Vice President Han Zheng will also attend the ceremony.
