Trump nominates 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 News contributor, served in Congress for nearly nine years before leaving in 2019. Duffy's nomination follows Trump's recent appointment of another Fox host, Pete Hegseth, as defense secretary. Duffy will focus on improving U.S. infrastructure and enhancing travel safety and efficiency if confirmed. The Transportation Department oversees various transportation systems, including highways and airlines. Duffy's appointment comes amid ongoing challenges, such as high traffic deaths and the transition to electric vehicles.
