Trump nominates Sean Duffy as transportation secretary

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will nominate former Wisconsin Representative Sean Duffy as transportation secretary. Duffy, a former reality TV star and Fox Business co-host, previously served nearly nine years in Congress. Duffy's experience includes roles on the Financial Services Committee and as chairman of the subcommittee on insurance and housing. Trump highlighted Duffy's relationships in Congress and his commitment to improving the nation's infrastructure. Duffy's nomination follows Trump's pattern of selecting media figures for his Cabinet, as he previously named Fox News host Pete Hegseth. Trump emphasized Duffy's focus on safety and efficiency in transportation, while also expressing intentions to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in the aviation sector.
