Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, wasn’t afforded time to settle into his new Cabinet position in President Donald Trump’s administration. Hours after being sworn in, tragedy struck in Washington, D.C. as an American Airlines flight and military helicopter collided mid-air at Reagan National Airport.

Duffy will get no sleep tonight. He’s been thrown into the fray on his first day. Commenters were quick to offer prayers as he oversees this tragedy and unfortunate loss of life.

Duffy was a U.S. Representative from Wisconsin from 2011 to 2019. Two posters say he has the knowledge, skills, and dedication to do the job.

Commenters are grateful Duffy’s confirmation and swearing-in didn’t hit any snags.

Duffy was confirmed by a 77-to-22 vote on Tuesday. He was sworn in on Wednesday and responded to the tragic collision in D.C. hours later.
