Linda McMahon nominated as Secretary of Education by Donald Trump
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Linda McMahon as the new Secretary of Education. McMahon, a former head of the Small Business Administration and WWE co-founder, will focus on shifting education control from the federal government to state authorities. McMahon's appointment reflects Trump's goal to decentralize education. Although she lacks formal education policy experience, her business background and previous political roles align with Trump's vision for education reform, emphasizing parental rights and school choice. Her nomination requires Senate confirmation. If approved, McMahon will oversee federal education funding and programs while implementing Trump's plan to reduce federal oversight in education.
