Wisconsin Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin said Thursday she would support President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Transportation, signaling a potentially smooth path to confirmation.
The proposed nominee, Sean Duffy, served in the House from 2011 to 2019, representing Wisconsin. The Republican currently hosts a show on Fox Business.
Baldwin endorsed the fellow Wisconsinite in a statement Thursday, saying that she considers nominees “through the lens of ‘will you be good for Wisconsin.’”

“I’ve worked with Sean before to deliver for Wisconsin, and I plan to support his nomination because I am confident that we can work together to keep Wisconsin families safe and our economy moving forward,” Baldwin said in a statement.
