Trump nominates Sean Duffy, former reality TV star, as transportation secretary

Donald Trump has nominated Sean Duffy, a former cast member of "The Real World," as the next Secretary of Transportation. Duffy, a Republican and Trump supporter, previously served in Congress and has worked as a Fox News co-host. This nomination marks Duffy as the first reality TV star to hold a cabinet position. He will replace Pete Buttigieg, who has led the department since February 2021. Duffy's nomination follows Trump's recent election victory and comes as he appoints several individuals with strong ties to Fox News and controversial views. Duffy has previously lobbied for the oil and gas industry.
