Trump nominates Sean Duffy as transportation secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former Wisconsin Representative Sean Duffy as transportation secretary. Duffy, currently a Fox News host, would manage a department with a $110 billion budget and oversee various transportation policies. If confirmed, Duffy will handle significant funding from the Biden administration's infrastructure law. Trump plans to reverse Biden's vehicle emissions rules, which aim to reduce tailpipe emissions and promote electric vehicle production. The Trump transition team also intends to eliminate the $7,500 tax credit for electric vehicle purchases.
