参议院77票对22票确认 Sean Duffy 出任交通部长
美国联邦参议院2025年1月28日在首都华盛顿以77票赞成、22票反对，确认 Sean Duffy 出任交通部长。Duffy 由此成为美国第20任交通部长，并于当日由最高法院大法官 Clarence Thomas 主持宣誓就职。
Duffy 曾任威斯康星州联邦众议员近九年，其后任电视节目主持人；特朗普总统2024年11月18日宣布提名他执掌交通部。参议院商务、科学与运输委员会1月15日举行确认听证，议题集中于航空安全与基础设施；委员会1月22日以28票对0票将提名送交全院，参议院1月27日又以97票对0票结束辩论。
表决前，特朗普政府冻结联邦拨款的行政行动引发争议，部分原拟支持的民主党参议员改投反对票。参议员 Tammy Duckworth 当日声明称，她原已准备投赞成票，但无法在交通资金被扣住的情况下确认一位交通部长。
Duffy 在听证会上表示将把安全放在首位。交通部主管全美航空、公路、铁路与货运安全监管，下辖联邦航空管理局等机构。

Senate Confirms Sean Duffy as Secretary of Transportation, 77 to 22
The U.S. Senate in Washington voted 77 to 22 on January 28, 2025, to confirm Sean Duffy as secretary of transportation. Duffy became the 20th person to hold the post and was sworn in the same day by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Duffy represented Wisconsin in the U.S. House for nearly nine years before working as a television host. President Donald Trump announced his nomination on November 18, 2024. The Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee held his confirmation hearing on January 15, focusing on aviation safety and infrastructure; the committee advanced the nomination 28 to 0 on January 22, and the Senate voted 97 to 0 on January 27 to close debate.
Before the final vote, the Trump administration's freeze on federal grant funding drew objections, and some Democratic senators who had planned to support Duffy voted no. Senator Tammy Duckworth said in a statement that day that she had been prepared to vote to confirm him but could not do so while transportation funding was being withheld.
At his hearing, Duffy said he would put safety first. The Department of Transportation oversees aviation, highway, rail and freight safety nationwide, including the Federal Aviation Administration.
