Trump’s transition team is considering a former Uber executive and three Republican congresspersons for the U.S. Department of Transportation chief position, according to Reuters. Emil Michael, a Trump donor, is a leading contender due to his connection to Elon Musk, as reported by three sources.
Other candidates include Sam Graves, Garret Graves and Sean Duffy, as noted by seven sources. These are the current contenders thus far, but the sources also noted that other names could emerge before January.
