Senate panel advances nomination for Trump's transportation pick
The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation voted to advance the nomination of Sean Duffy to be Trump's transportation secretary.
Duffy's nomination was unanimously approved by the committee by a vote of 28-0.
His nomination will now advance to the Senate floor for a confirmation vote. The date and timing of the vote has not yet been determined.
Duffy is a former congressman and co-hosted "The Bottom Line" on Fox Business. When Trump tapped Duffy for the post, he said he would prioritize rebuilding the nation's infrastructure and on eliminating DEI in certain fields.
