Sean Duffy, President Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Transportation, has cleared a significant hurdle in his confirmation process. The Senate Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee voted to advance his candidacy with bipartisan support, paving the way for a final confirmation vote by the full Senate.
Duffy, a former Republican congressman, faced a confirmation hearing before the committee, where he received support from both Democrats and Republicans. The committee's vote to advance his nomination was unanimous.
The Senate is expected to hold a final vote on Duffy's confirmation on Tuesday afternoon. If confirmed, he will take over as Secretary of Transportation for the next four years.
The confirmation process for Duffy comes as the Senate also voted to confirm Scott Bessent as the new Secretary of the Treasury. Bessent's confirmation was approved by a unanimous vote.
