<h2>’Ramaswamy Played Critical Role In Helping Create DOGE'</h2>
<p>Anna Kelly, a spokesperson for the commission, said Ramaswamy played a critical role in helping create DOGE. The spokesperson added that Ramaswamy intends to run for elected office soon, which requires him to remain outside of DOGE. “We thank him immensely for his contributions over the last two months and expect him to play a vital role in making America great again,&rdquo; Kelly added.</p>

<p>DOGE is a nongovernmental task force that Trump has assigned to find ways to fire federal workers, cut programs and slash federal regulations under his “Save America” agenda.</p>
<p>Earlier, Ramaswamy thanked Trump for making sure that Elon Musk and he were in “a position to start the mass deportations of millions of unelected federal bureaucrats out of the D.C. bureaucracy.”</p>
<p>”And I don’t know if you’ve got to know Elon yet, but he doesn’t bring a chisel, he brings a chainsaw, and we’re going to be taking it to that bureaucracy,” Ramaswamy had said, adding that, “It’s going to be a lot of fun.”</p>
