Trump gets TV star Duffy as Minister of Transport-a new travel evolution?

Washington, USA - Washington-another TV star should step into the political spotlight! Donald Trump nominated the former Member of Congress Sean Duffy as the new Minister of Transport. In a bold announcement, the designated US President promises that Duffy will herald a "golden era of travel". The 53-year-old Duffy, who was sitting in the US representative house from 2011 to 2019, is currently co-moderator at FOX Business and thus brings a good dose of media experience.

Trump, known for his preference for the FOX news channels, brought the FOX news presenter and former soldiers Pete Hegseth into play for the Ministry of Defense last week. But this nomination caused excitement: political observers doubt Hegseth's suitability for the office. There are also reports of his possible involvement in a sexual harassment scandal seven years ago, which also questions the appointment.

a strong TV duo

Sean Duffy is not only a familiar name at FOX, but also connected to Hegseth: his wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, was a co-moderator in a weekend show by FOX News. The connections between the TV personalities and the Trump administration are becoming increasingly clear. Duffy, who has established himself as a voice for Trump in the media, could play a key role in the new government and set the course for the US transport policy.
