The Senate confirmed President Donald Trump's pick to lead the Transportation Department, former Rep. Sean Duffy of Wisconsin, on Tuesday afternoon.
Duffy appeared before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee this month and outlined his priorities for the Transportation Department, including aviation and highway safety, addressing the air traffic controller shortage, and restoring trust in Boeing following several major scandals.
The Transportation secretary pick was confirmed by a bipartisan vote of 77 to 22.
Duffy amassed the support of two dozen Democratic senators on the final vote, in addition to the entire Republican conference.
"No federal agency impacts Americans’ daily lives and loved ones like the Department of Transportation," Duffy told lawmakers on Jan. 15 at his confirmation hearing.
