Trump nominates Sean Duffy as transportation secretary for infrastructure role

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former congressman Sean Duffy as transportation secretary. Duffy, known for his fiscal responsibility, will manage infrastructure spending and regulations, including plans to eliminate diversity programs in the transportation sector. Duffy's nomination is part of Trump's broader cabinet selections, which include several controversial figures. The Republican-led Senate will need to approve these nominations, amid some internal party resistance. Duffy previously collaborated with Democrats on infrastructure projects, which may influence his approach to overseeing major upgrades in transportation. His nomination follows Trump's commitment to significant spending cuts and regulatory changes.
