Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner unexpectedly resigned to maintain support from the Trump administration. His departure follows Elon Musk’s proposal to privatize Amtrak and the Postal Service. The Transportation Secretary criticized Amtrak’s Washington D.C. operations and called for improvements. Though Amtrak didn’t confirm if Gardner was asked to resign, unnamed sources suggest Trump’s involvement. Gardner had a long tenure with Amtrak, becoming CEO in January 2022.
