Trump nominates former Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy as transportation secretary
President-elect Donald Trump announced former Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy as his nominee for transportation secretary. Duffy, a former reality TV star and Fox Business co-host, served in Congress for nearly nine years before resigning in 2019. Duffy will focus on improving U.S. infrastructure and enhancing travel safety and efficiency. He has previously ruled out a run for Wisconsin governor to care for his family, which includes nine children. Trump's Cabinet picks include another Fox host, Pete Hegseth, as defense secretary. Duffy's nomination signals a continued connection between Trump's administration and Fox News personalities.
