Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is testifying before a House panel on the 2026 budget at 10 a.m. He will address key issues on the state of transportation in the United States and funding priorities in transportation policy.

At a House Appropriations Committee meeting yesterday regarding the Department of Transportation’s fiscal budget for 2026, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-N.J.) referenced Duffy’s comments. She suggested that Duffy “diverted [his] wife from Newark airport to LaGuardia out of a sense of security.”

The move is in response to equipment failures and staff shortages that caused hourslong flight delays in recent weeks.
