TELEVISION personality Rachel Campos-Duffy met her husband Sean Duffy on MTV reality show Road Rules: All Stars. He’s come a long way from the world of reality TV — President Donald Trump

President Donald Trump 's new Secretary of Transportation has an interesting Massachusetts connection. Sean Duffy, who was sworn in on Wednesday as part of the 47th president's cabinet, is a former Wisconsin congressman, an ex-Fox Business television host and, surprisingly enough, a reality TV show star.

New transportation secretary Sean Duffy faces his first crisis as an Army helicopter collides with an American Airlines jet at Reagan Airport, crashing into the Potomac River. All onboard are feared dead.

Duffy, who was confirmed by the Senate Tuesday, has quickly emerged as the public face of the federal government’s response to the deadly plane crash.

The Senate confirmed Sean Duffy as the next secretary of transportation, marking a return to public office for former Wisconsin congressman.

Long before Sean Duffy was nominated Department of Transportation secretary, Duffy was a reality star, who appeared on various channels including MTV.

The press conference ended at 1:20 a.m. on the East Coast, and Duffy was back at it at 7 a.m. Thursday morning to speak again about the worst commercial airline disaster in 16 years. He spoke at a third press conference at 11 a.m., this time following combative remarks from President Donald Trump.

Prior to his appointment, Sean Duffy served as a Wisconsin congressman and district attorney and before that he was a reality TV star.
