Is Vivek Ramaswamy Replacing Elon Musk At Doge? Who Are the Front runners for DOGE'S Top Position?

Elon Musk has stepped down from Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), sparking intense speculation over who will succeed him. The frontrunner appears to be Indian-origin entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who was initially appointed to co-run Doge before exiting to pursue gubernatorial ambitions. Other contenders include Amy Gleason, Tom Krause, and even a 23-year-old former intern. As Doge reels from Musk’s controversial reforms and job cuts, Trump remains tight-lipped, while questions swirl about the agency’s future and who will lead its radical mission next. #VivekRamaswamy #ElonMusk #DOGE #TrumpAdministration #WhiteHouse #MuskExit #GovernmentEfficiency #Layoffs #DogeNews #BreakingNews #USPolitics #MuskResigns #FutureOfDoge #VivekAtDoge #Trump2025 #BureaucracyReform #DogeLeadership #USGovernment #RamaswamyComeback #TechInPolitics

BREAKING: Trump Visits ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ | Inside Florida's Detention Center Circled By Predators

President Trump will attend the opening of a controversial migrant detention center deep in the Florida Everglades, nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz” for its remote, wildlife-infested location. Built rapidly using Governor DeSantis' emergency powers, the facility can hold up to 5,000 migrants and is located on the grounds of a long-abandoned 1960s jetport. Despite recent political friction, Trump and DeSantis will appear together at the launch. Critics are alarmed over the harsh conditions and secrecy surrounding the project, which has already sparked a wave of protests and national debate. #Trump #DeSantis #AlligatorAlcatraz #MigrantCenter #FloridaPolitics #ImmigrationPolicy #FEMA #Everglades #DetentionCenter #BorderCrisis #SwampFacility #JetportHistory #DadeCollier #MigrantRights #USImmigration #ControversialFacility #PoliticalReunion #FloridaNews #RemotePrison #Protests Also Read 'Close Up Shop And Move Back To South Africa': US President Donald Trump's Deportation Warning To Elon Musk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/close-up-shop-and-move-back-to-south-africa-us-president-donald-trumps-deportation-warning-to-el-7788061.html?ref=DMDesc Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~GR.125~HT.96~

Bernie Sanders RIPS Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ As Billionaire Payoff | 16M Thrown Off Healthcare?

Sen. Bernie Sanders strongly opposes President Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill,” calling it the most dangerous legislation in modern U.S. history. Sanders claims the bill is a billionaire-funded payoff that gives $975 billion in tax breaks to the top 1%, while slashing $1.1 trillion from healthcare programs like Medicaid and ACA—potentially leaving 16 million uninsured. With studies predicting 50,000 avoidable deaths per year, Sanders calls the bill a "death sentence" for working-class Americans and a devastating blow to rural hospitals already on the brink. #BernieSanders #TrumpBill #BillionaireBill #MedicaidCuts #AffordableCareAct #HealthcareCrisis #SenateFloor #TaxBreaks #TrumpTaxPlan #BillionaireClass #WorkingClass #RuralHospitals #HealthcareForAll #SandersSpeech #TrumpVsSanders #MedicareCuts #HealthcareJustice #TrumpAgenda #PoliticalCorruption #BigPharma #CampaignFinance #UnfairEconomy #TaxPolicy #GOPBill #CBOReport #PublicHealth #HealthcareInequality #TrumpHealthcarePlan #SandersFightsBack #TrumpDeathBill #HealthJusticeNow Also Read 'Close Up Shop And Move Back To South Africa': US President Donald Trump's Deportation Warning To Elon Musk :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/close-up-shop-and-move-back-to-south-africa-us-president-donald-trumps-deportation-warning-to-el-7788061.html?ref=DMDesc Top Iranian Cleric Declares Fatwa Against Donald Trump, Netanyahu :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/top-iranian-cleric-declares-fatwa-against-donald-trump-netanyahu-7786905.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Intends To Resolve North Korea Conflict Amid Reports Of Rejected Letter :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-intends-to-resolve-north-korea-conflict-amid-reports-of-rejected-letter-7785511.html?ref=DMDesc
