"Buttigieg linked to an article in The Atlantic that outlined how Duffy is allegedly using the regulatory power available to him as transportation secretary to potentially get rich people to donate to his son-in-law's congressional campaign."
"The article explains how one family that owns a business supply company has tried for years to get Obama-era safety restrictions on the hours truckers can drive rescinded, arguing that restricting the hours truckers can drive leads to 'increased inefficiencies and expense' for their business."
"Duffy announced a pilot program last fall allowing truckers more flexibility in work hours, something Duffy said would get 'Washington out of your trucks and your business.'"
"Buttigieg didn't mince words. 'Drain the swamp,' he wrote, sharing the article."
Pete Buttigieg criticized Sean Duffy for potentially leveraging his role as Transportation Secretary to benefit his son-in-law's congressional campaign. An article in The Atlantic details how a business family, seeking to overturn trucker hour restrictions, donated $1 million to a PAC supporting Duffy's son-in-law, Michael Alfonso. Duffy's pilot program aims to provide truckers with more flexible work hours, which he claims will reduce government interference in their operations. Buttigieg's comment, 'Drain the swamp,' underscores his disapproval of Duffy's actions.
