Trump nominates former Rep. Sean Duffy for transportation secretary
President-elect Donald Trump has announced former Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy as his nominee for transportation secretary. Duffy, a former reality TV star and Fox News contributor, served in Congress for nearly nine years before resigning in 2019. Duffy's nomination marks the second appointment of a Fox-affiliated host to Trump's Cabinet, following Pete Hegseth as defense secretary. Trump highlighted Duffy's congressional experience and relationships, emphasizing his focus on improving infrastructure and travel safety. If confirmed, Duffy will oversee the Transportation Department during a period of significant change, including rising traffic deaths and the introduction of new technologies like autonomous vehicles. He has previously ruled out a run for governor to care for his family.
