President Trump announced Wednesday that Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy will temporarily lead the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, weeks after Mr. Trump withdrew an Elon Musk-linked entrepreneur as his pick to lead the space agency.

On Wednesday evening (July 9), President Donald Trump named Sean Duffy interim chief of the space agency.

As the caretaker head of NASA, Mr. Duffy would also become the latest Trump official to hold multiple jobs in the administration.
