    About our Sean Duffy news

    Latest news on Sean Duffy, Trump's Transportation Secretary and former Wisconsin congressman, covering federal transport policy and infrastructure initiatives.

    Sean Duffy, a Republican politician and former reality TV star, was confirmed as the 20th United States Secretary of Transportation on 28 January 2025, with a bipartisan Senate vote of 77-22. His appointment marks a significant shift in federal transportation policy under President Donald Trump's second administration.

    In his first actions as Transportation Secretary, Duffy has focused on addressing infrastructure damage in the Appalachian region following Hurricane Helene. His confirmation hearings highlighted concerns about the ongoing federal spending freeze and its impact on transportation projects. Duffy's stance on climate change has drawn attention, with environmental groups noting his previous statements questioning the role of CO2 in climate change.

    Beyond his political career, Duffy brings a unique background to his cabinet role. He first gained public recognition as a cast member on MTV's "The Real World: Boston" in 1997, where he met his wife Rachel Campos-Duffy, now a Fox News personality. The couple, parents to nine children, recently relocated to Mendham Township, New Jersey, making Duffy the first New Jersey resident to serve in a presidential cabinet since Lisa P. Jackson.

    Prior to his cabinet appointment, Duffy served as the U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 7th congressional district from 2011 to 2019, where he gained experience in financial oversight and regulation. His political career began as Ashland County District Attorney, a position he held from 2002 to 2010. He resigned from Congress in September 2019 to care for his newborn daughter, who was diagnosed with Down Syndrome and a heart condition.

    The NewsNow feed provides comprehensive coverage of Duffy's tenure as Transportation Secretary, including his policy initiatives, infrastructure projects, and responses to transportation challenges across the United States.
