Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy on Monday largely blamed a string of problems plaguing Newark Liberty International Airport and the larger flight system on the Biden administration — though he also seemed to accidentally indict Trump for not doing more.
As officials begin to reduce flights to stem the crisis, Duffy said in a press conference that Newark’s recent issues — which have included radar outages, software problems, flight delays, and a lack of air traffic controllers — were “left to us from the Biden-Buttigieg administration,” referring to the former president and Pete Buttigieg, his Democratic predecessor.
