Description
In a move that signals a continuation of his close ties with right-leaning media personalities, President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Sean Duffy, a former congressman and Fox Business host, as his nominee for Transportation Secretary.
Duffy, who first rose to fame on MTV's "The Real World," follows fellow Fox host Pete Hegseth, who was nominated for the Defense Department.
While Duffy's political background may resonate with Trump's base, his appointment raises concerns about how transportation policies could impact marginalized communities, including Black neighborhoods that often face neglect in infrastructure planning.
Critics worry that a cabinet filled with media figures may lack the necessary experience and sensitivity to address the needs of communities effectively.
Duffy's history in Congress and his public persona will be closely scrutinized as the nomination progresses, highlighting potential red flags for voters who prioritize equity in government.
