President Trump just announced that he’s appointing Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to be the interim Administrator of NASA.
Here’s the announcement:
I am pleased to announce that I am directing our GREAT Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, to be Interim Administrator of NASA. Sean is doing a TREMENDOUS job in handling our Country’s Transportation Affairs, including creating a state-of-the-art Air Traffic Control systems, while at the same time rebuilding our roads and bridges, making them efficient, and beautiful, again. He will be a fantastic leader of the ever more important Space Agency, even if only for a short period of time. Congratulations, and thank you, Sean!
This is the second time Trump has given one of his cabinet secretaries a second job. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was the first, being given the role of NSA when Mike Waltz took the nomination for UN Ambassador.
Congrats Sean Duffy!
