Sean Duffy Nominated as Transportation Secretary

Former Congressman Sean Duffy has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as the Secretary of Transportation, with Trump praising Duffy's public service and collaborative spirit. Duffy, who has experience as a District Attorney and served in Congress from 2011 to 2019, is expected to focus on enhancing U.S. infrastructure and promoting a 'golden age of travel.' His plans include ensuring safety and efficiency in transportation while eliminating diversity programs in aviation roles. Duffy, a former co-host on Fox Business, is the second individual with Fox ties to be appointed by Trump, following defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth. The transportation sector faces various challenges, including addressing road safety and regulatory concerns, which Duffy will oversee if confirmed by the Senate. Trump's nomination comes as his administration proposes significant policy changes that could reshape the transportation landscape.
