Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Returns to Reality TV Roots, Sparking Criticism and Questions
Sean Duffy and Rachel Campos-Duffy filmed the series over seven months with their nine children, and it launches on YouTube next month.
- On Friday, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy announced their new reality series, The Great American Road Trip, launching on YouTube next month to celebrate America's 250th anniversary.
- Filmed over seven months last year, the show features Duffy, his wife, and their nine children traveling across the country. Duffy claimed the project allowed him to fit in "some work" while promoting their motto, "To love America you've gotta see America."
- Critics, including Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, questioned the project's timing amid a transportation crisis, noting the irony of filming while airfares rise nearly 25% and fuel costs reach over $4.50 per gallon.
- During the announcement, Campos-Duffy remarked, "We live in a Pornhub world," drawing confusion, while the program's website lists corporate sponsorship from Boeing, Toyota, and Shell without disclosing the Duffys' participation pay.
- Projections suggest high fuel prices will persist through 2026, creating affordability concerns for American families, though the couple urged citizens to explore the nation ahead of July's 250th anniversary celebration.
