President Trump asked assembled guests to speak, starting with Roger Penske, Eric Shanks of Fox Sports and then Secretary Duffy. The president also gave a shout out to Secretary Duffy’s wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy.

Secretary Burgum spoke next, followed by Bud Denker of Penske Corporation.

President Trump mentioned his Fed chair pick, calling Warsh — who is not here — “central casting.”
