Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s ‘Great American Road Trip’ Reality Show Is Finally Out After Months-Long Delay
The six-episode series follows Sean Duffy and his family across seven states and drew criticism over sponsors and timing.
- The six-episode reality series 'Great American Road Trip' premiered Wednesday on YouTube, featuring Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and his family traveling through seven states across the United States.
- Production costs were covered by the nonprofit Great American Road Trip Inc., and the Department of Transportation stated the series supports Duffy's 'official duties' related to America's semiquincentennial.
- The series follows Duffy, his wife Rachel Campos-Duffy, and their nine children, with the first episode featuring a stop at the Oval Office to see President Donald Trump. Subsequent episodes cover Philadelphia, Massachusetts, Wyoming, Montana, South Carolina, Texas, and Arizona.
- Senate Democrats, including Appropriations Committee ranking member Patty Murray, called for an investigation into potential conflicts between personal and professional activities last month. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington also requested a probe, citing sponsors like Boeing and Toyota regulated by the Department of Transportation.
- Duffy said in August the show required 'a little extra editing' to ensure compliance with government ethics rules. A Department of Transportation spokesperson added the release aligns with America's year-long 250th birthday celebration.
