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 Business co-host, served in Congress for nearly nine years before resigning in 2019. Duffy will focus on improving the nation’s infrastructure and enhancing travel safety and efficiency. He is the second Fox-affiliated host appointed to Trump’s Cabinet, following Pete Hegseth as defense secretary. Trump emphasized Duffy's experience in Congress and his commitment to rebuilding highways, bridges, and airports. Duffy has previously ruled out a run for Wisconsin governor to care for his family.
