On Tuesday, the Senate approved the nomination of Sean Duffy, a former Representative, as secretary of transportation, with the vote tallying 77 in favor and 22 against. This confirmation came unexpectedly amid rising dissent from Democratic senators who were protesting against the Trump administration's sudden halt of federal funding and assistance programs.

Initially, Duffy's path to confirmation seemed clear, as all Democrats had previously voted to advance his nomination. However, the situation changed dramatically following President Trump’s controversial directive that froze significant amounts of federal aid, leading to widespread confusion and anger across the nation. One notable change in support came from Senator Chris Coons of Delaware, who had originally endorsed Duffy due to his promise to advance funded infrastructure initiatives. Coons reversed his stance, citing the detrimental effects of the freeze on essential transportation funding, stating that he could not back Duffy or any other nominee from the Trump administration while the order remained in effect.
