WASHINGTON (AP) – President-elect Donald Trump says he wants Sean Duffy to be his transportation secretary. That would position Duffy to oversee a complex system of pipelines, railroads, cars, trucks, airlines and mass transit systems, as well as funding for highways. Duffy is a former member of Congress who represented a Wisconsin district for nine years. He is the second Fox-affiliated TV host to be tapped by Trump. Duffy also has a background in reality TV, like Trump. A former contestant on MTV’s “Road Rules,” Duffy was featured on MTV’s “The Real World: Boston” in 1997. He met his wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, during “Road Rules: All Stars” in 1998. Duffy later was a co-host of “The Bottom Line” on Fox Business until he left the network Monday. He declined to run for governor of Wisconsin in 2022, despite Trump’s urging, and is a former lumberjack athlete. (Photo: AP)
