Trump Nominates Sean Duffy for Transportation Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Sean Duffy, a former Republican congressman and Fox Business host, to lead the U.S. Department of Transportation, marking his second appointment of a Fox personality to a Cabinet position. Duffy, who previously served on the Financial Services Committee, is recognized for his advocacy of fiscal responsibility and rural development during his congressional tenure. Trump emphasized Duffy's commitment to enhancing America's infrastructure, stating he would prioritize excellence and safety while eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives for pilots and air traffic controllers. Duffy's background includes reality TV fame from MTV's 'The Real World' and 'Road Rules,' along with experience as a district attorney in Wisconsin. The nomination requires Senate confirmation, as Duffy prepares to replace former Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Trump's choice reflects a continued trend of appointing media figures to key government roles.
