As the new U.S. Congress gets underway this month, the Senate Commerce Committee is immediately turning its attention to a nomination hearing for former House of Representatives Republican member Sean Duffy as secretary of transportation. Now chaired by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) with Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Washington) as the ranking member, the committee is set to hold its nomination hearing at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

President-elect Trump in November announced Duffy—a former district attorney for Ashland County, Wisconsin, who served in the House from January 2011 until September 2019—as his selection for the role, succeeding Pete Buttigieg. More recently, he has co-hosted the Fox Business show, “The Bottom Line with Dagen and Duffy,” as well as a “From the Kitchen Table” podcast with his wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy.
