Donald Trump has announced he is appointing Fox Business host and former Wisconsin representative Sean Duffy to a post in his new administration.
Duffy will serve as the Secretary of Transportation during Trump’s second term.
After spending more than eight years in the U.S. House of Representatives, Duffy has hosted The Bottom Line on Fox News since January 2023.
“Sean Duffy provided valuable insights and analysis in co-hosting the FOX Business Network program, The Bottom Line,” a network spokesperson said. “As Duffy departs FOX News Media effective today, we wish him the best of luck in his return to Washington. Moving forward, The Bottom Line will continue with Dagen McDowell joined by rotating co-hosts.”
On social media, Duffy — who is the husband of Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, and father of Evita Duffy-Alfonso — shared his excitement of the news.
“Thank you, Mr. President. I’m eager to help you usher in a new golden age of transportation,” he wrote, followed by the MAGA hashtag.
Duffy becomes the latest appointment with Fox News ties to join the Trump Administration. FOX & Friends Weekend host Pete Hegseth departed the network to serve as Secretary of Defense, while former Fox News host Mike Huckabee has been selected as the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, and Fox News contributor Tulsi Gabbard will serve as Director of National Intelligence.
