Donald Trump has nominated former congressman Sean Duffy as transportation secretary. Duffy will manage federal infrastructure spending and transit regulations, emphasizing fiscal responsibility and collaboration on major projects. Duffy's nomination comes as the Trump administration plans spending cuts and aims to reduce regulations, including eliminating diversity programs for pilots and air traffic controllers. The Republican-led Senate must approve Duffy and other nominees, amid scrutiny of some, including Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth, due to past controversies.
