Booker, Kim Statement Opposing Confirmation of Secretary Duffy
Senators Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Andy Kim (D-NJ) issued the following joint statement opposing the confirmation of Sean Duffy as Secretary of Transportation:
“While we otherwise would have supported Secretary Duffy due to the commitments he made to critical New Jersey priorities, including the Gateway Program, the actions we have seen in the past 24 hours from the Trump Administration to cut off funding for New Jersey families and carelessly delay infrastructure projects have led us to oppose his nomination. Donald Trump needs to know that if he’s going to use the levers of government to harm working families, we’re going to stand in his way. People will be hurt because this administration simply doesn’t care about them. We will continue to stand up and work to make sure the support that New Jersey needs is delivered and not blocked by President Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional actions.”
