The Senate is currently in the process of voting on the confirmation of President Donald Trump's nominee to head the Department of Transportation for the next four years. Trump has selected Sean Duffy, a former congressman, father of nine, and former news host, to serve as the secretary of transportation in his administration, praising him as a 'tremendous and well-liked public servant.'
Duffy recently underwent questioning by the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee and received unanimous, bipartisan support, advancing his nomination to a full Senate vote. A cloture vote held on Monday evening signaled the conclusion of debate on Duffy's nomination, leading to a final vote scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.
