Trump transition team considers candidates for transportation chief, including former Uber executive

The Trump transition team is considering several candidates for the U.S. Department of Transportation, including former Uber executive Emil Michael and three Republican congressmen. Michael is a prominent contender, supported by tech executives who backed Trump. Other candidates include Missouri Representative Sam Graves, outgoing Louisiana Representative Garret Graves, and former Wisconsin Representative Sean Duffy, now a Fox News host. Sam Graves expressed interest in the position if offered. Elon Musk, a major Trump supporter, may influence the selection. The Department of Transportation oversees a $110 billion budget and regulates various transportation sectors, including vehicles and aviation.
