Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy on Tuesday said President Trump tapped her husband, Sean Duffy, to be Transportation secretary "because that was all that's left."
The two were interviewed on "The Katie Miller Podcast," hosted by the wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller. The host asked about their conversation after Trump nominated Duffy.
"He said he wanted to serve the president in any way," Campos-Duffy said. "He ended up in Transportation because that was all that's left."
Duffy, himself a former Fox News host, interjected and said he believed Trump when he told him, "If I wasn't the president, I would pick the Department of Transportation over any department. It's the best department, and I'm going to give it to you."
The secretary then emphasized Trump's focus on construction, having been a developer for much of his life, and said the U.S. has "a president who cares about the infrastructure of America. Usually, presidents don't give a darn."
