At a press event held at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport near Washington, D.C., Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy introduced a $1 billion investment plan aimed at making airports more comfortable for families and passengers. The highlight of the event was the two secretaries engaging in a "pull-up competition."
The promotional event held at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington hosted an unexpected competition. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy drew attention to themselves by participating in a pull-up contest while announcing a $1 billion project package aimed at making airports more family-friendly. The two secretaries took to the bar, asking, "Who can do more pull-ups?"
71-YEAR-OLD KENNEDY OUTPERFORMED DUFFY
Participating in the competition in a shirt and tie, 71-year-old Kennedy showcased an impressive performance by completing 20 pull-ups. However, the expression on his face after his successful attempts caught attention. It was noted that Kennedy struggled significantly, especially towards the end.
DUFFY MANAGED ONLY 10
Duffy, who is 17 years younger than Kennedy, removed his jacket and tie to join the competition but could only manage to do 10 pull-ups, falling behind his rival.
This unexpected display became a symbolic step emphasizing the event's vision of transforming airports into places that are not only travel destinations but also venues for healthy living and family-friendly areas.
The plan announced by Duffy encompasses investments in airports across the United States.
