Senate Dems press Duffy on ‘Great American Road Trip’
Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) told Duffy during a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing on the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) fiscal 2027 budget request. “I think it’s wrong, and I think you should explain to the American people why you should spend your time and why you should be getting a vacation that is paid for by companies that you regulate,” she added. The YouTube series follows the Duffy family as they travel to historic sites, landmarks and small towns across the U.S., including national parks, Civil War battlefields and dozens of places in between.
