The 32-year-old Donald Trump ally has been pushing for Jared Isaacman to be nominated for NASA administrator after he was pulled from consideration earlier this year during the feud between Musk and Trump. Duffy is currently doing the job on an interim basis and has been trying to stay in charge of it, potentially even making the space agency DOT's responsibility, Politico reported. Allies of Isaacman - including Montana Senator Tim Sheehy and Texas Senator Ted Cruz - have been pushing to bring the billionaire entrepreneur, pilot, and commercial astronaut back to the table. Loomer expressed her frustration with Duffy - who Musk referred to recently as 'Sean Dummy' over refusal to nominate his friend - and believes that without him the US will 'lose the space race to China.' 'But, you know, that's what happens when you have a reality TV star and you make him the Department of Transportation secretary.' Duffy initially rose to fame during the 1990s as a star on the Boston season of MTV's The Real World, before launching a political career that led him to a decade-long stint in Congress. The Daily Mail has reached out to the Department of Transportation for comment. Laura Loomer (pictured) criticized Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy over his refusal to confirm an Elon Musk ally as head of NASA in the newest split within the MAGA movement Loomer expressed her frustration with Duffy (pictured) - who Musk referred to recently as 'Sean Dummy' over refusal to nominate his friend - and believes that without him the US will 'lose the space race to China' NASA confirmed that Duffy has suggested making NASA administrator a part of the Department of Transportation but not with him running it. 'Sean said that NASA might benefit from being part of the Cabinet, maybe even within the Department of Transportation, but he's never said he wants to keep the job himself,' a spokesperson said. The White House has only said that 'discussions about who will take the job are ongoing, and the president has yet to make a decision.'
