Donald Trump Nominates Sean Duffy for Secretary of Transportation

On Monday, President-elect Donald Trump announced his intention to nominate former Wisconsin Representative Sean Duffy as the next secretary of transportation. The nomination comes as part of Trump’s ongoing efforts to fill his administration’s key positions before taking office.

Sean Duffy, aged 53, previously served as a congressman representing Wisconsin’s 7th District and is currently known for his role as a contributor and co-host on Fox News and Fox Business Network. Duffy has been involved in broadcasting with programs such as «The Bottom Line.» This marks the second time Trump has selected someone from Fox News to join his cabinet, following the recent announcement of Pete Hegseth for secretary of defense.

Trump’s choice of Duffy highlights his preference for candidates with media connections and public visibility. In his eight-plus years in Congress, Duffy gained recognition for various legislative efforts and his role as a former prosecutor in the Badger State.

Pete Hegseth, alongside Duffy, represents a significant presence from Fox News personalities in the incoming administration. Hegseth, a co-host of «Fox & Friends Weekend» and a member of the Army National Guard, was announced as Trump’s choice for the Department of Defense position last week.

This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as further details emerge regarding the confirmation process and the administration’s policy priorities under Duffy’s potential leadership in the Department of Transportation.
