Trump nominates Sean Duffy to lead Department of Transportation

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Sean Duffy, a former congressman and Fox Business host, to lead the Department of Transportation. Duffy is the second Fox commentator chosen for the cabinet. If confirmed, Duffy will oversee transportation policies, including aviation and automotive, with a budget of about $110 billion. He will succeed Pete Buttigieg, who served under President Biden. Duffy's appointment follows Trump's recent election victory and reflects a trend of selecting close allies for key positions. The new secretary will address ongoing safety issues in aviation and potential changes to vehicle emissions rules.
