\tSean Duffy is entering the real world of Washington D.C., with Donald Trump tapping the Fox Business host and former Representative of Wisconsin to be his nominee as his secretary of transportation. Duffy would replace Pete Buttigieg, who was selected by sitting President Biden to lead the department under his administration.<\/p>\n

\tDuffy represents a double-dip into the bin of Fox personalities for Trump. The President-elect had previously announced that \u201cFox & Friends Weekend\u201d co-host Pete Hegseth would be appointed secretary of defense. Unlike Hegseth, Duffy has legislative experience, having served as a U.S. Representative from 2011 to 2019. He resigned in 2019 for personal reasons, disclosing that his newborn daughter had been diagnosed with a heart defect. \t<\/p>\n

\tPrior to his 2010 campaign for the House of Representatives, Duffy had been appointed the District Attorney of Ashland County in Wisconsin in 2002. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t \t\t\tPopular on Variety\t\t \t \t\t \t \tDuffy first entered the public eye in his late twenties, featured as a star on \u201cThe Real World: Boston,\u201d the sixth season of MTV\u2019s landmark reality TV series. He also competed on the first season of \u201cThe Challenge\u201d \u2014 known in 1998 as \u201cRoad Rules: All Stars\u201d \u2014 where he met his wife Rachel Campos. In 2022, he joined Fox Business to co-host \u201cThe Bottom Line\u201d with Dagen McDowell. <\/p>\n

\tIn a statement, Trump said that Duffy \u201cwill prioritize Excellence, Competence, Competitiveness and Beauty when rebuilding America\u2019s highways, tunnels, bridges and airports. He will ensure our ports and dams serve our Economy without compromising our National Security, and he will make our skies safe again by eliminating DEI for pilots and air traffic controllers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\t\u201cSean Duffy provided valuable insights and analysis in co-hosting the Fox Business Network program,\u00a0The Bottom Line,\u201d Fox News Media issued in a statement. \u201cWe wish him the best of luck in his return to Washington. Moving forward,\u00a0The Bottom Line\u00a0will continue with Dagen McDowell joined by rotating co-hosts.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
