Linda McMahon named by Trump to lead U.S. Department of Education
Linda McMahon, co-founder of WWE, has been selected by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the U.S. Department of Education. This nomination follows her significant financial support for Trump's campaign and her role as chair of his transition team. McMahon's background includes limited experience in education policy, primarily serving on the Connecticut State Board of Education. Her appointment comes amid ongoing legal disputes over student loan policies and Trump's plans to potentially dismantle the education department. Trump emphasized McMahon's leadership skills and commitment to expanding school choice. However, her nomination has raised concerns due to her lack of formal education experience and ongoing legal issues involving her and her husband.
