The 53-year-old Duffy was a member of the US House of Representatives from 2011 to 2019 and is currently co-hosting a show on Fox Business.
Trump has been known for years as an avid viewer of the Fox news networks. Last week he selected Fox News presenter and former soldier Pete Hegseth for the post of defense secretary. The nomination raised questions as political observers in Washington questioned Hegseth’s competence for the office. In addition, reports that Hegseth was involved in a sexual harassment investigation seven years ago raised doubts about his appointment.
Duffy has been one of the TV personalities who have represented Trump positions on Fox news networks in recent years. His wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, was Hegseth’s co-host on a Fox News weekend show.
