WASHINGTON, Jan 28 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate voted 77

to 22 on Tuesday to confirm former Representative Sean Duffy to

head the U.S. Transportation Department.

President Donald Trump's pick says Boeing ( BA ) needs

"tough love" to get back on track after a 2024 mid-air emergency

and vowed not to approve additional 737 MAX production until the

planemaker makes safety improvements. Duffy will oversee

billions of dollars in unspent infrastructure funds and told

lawmakers an ongoing safety probe into Tesla will

continue when he takes office.
