Trump nominates Sean Duffy as Transportation Secretary

President-elect Trump has selected Sean Duffy, a Fox Business host and former Congressman, as his nominee for Transportation Secretary. Duffy previously served in the U.S. House for eight years and has been a Fox contributor since 2020. This appointment marks the second consecutive week Trump has chosen a Fox host for his cabinet, following Pete Hegseth's nomination for Defense Secretary. Duffy's role would involve overseeing a large department with a budget exceeding $100 billion. Duffy's confirmation could impact ongoing initiatives at the Department of Transportation, which has focused on infrastructure improvements and consumer protections under current Secretary Pete Buttigieg. The future of these programs is uncertain with the new leadership.
