Contributing sentiments towards policy:

92% : In a statement announcing the nomination on Monday, Trump described Sean Duffy as a "tremendous and well-liked public servant" who will usher in a "golden age of travel".
64% : "He will prioritise excellence, competence, competitiveness and beauty when rebuilding America's highways, tunnels, bridges and airports," Trump said.
55% : "He will ensure our ports and dams serve our economy without compromising our national security, and he will make our skies safe again by eliminating DEI for pilots and air traffic controllers," Trump added, referring to diversity, equity and inclusion programmes in the workplace, which conservatives claim prioritise characteristics such as race and gender above merit and performance.
47% : Duffy, who left Congress in 2019 citing the need to spend more time with his family, is the second Fox host to be tapped by Trump, after the defence secretary pick, Pete Hegseth.
