Trump nominates Sean Duffy as transportation secretary

Donald Trump has nominated former Wisconsin Representative Sean Duffy as his transportation secretary. Duffy, a former reality TV star and Fox Business co-host, served nearly nine years in Congress before leaving in 2019. Duffy's appointment marks the second Fox-affiliated host in 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 time of significant change, including rising traffic deaths and the introduction of new technologies like autonomous vehicles. Trump has previously criticized electric vehicles and indicated a desire to slow their adoption.
