President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Linda McMahon as secretary of the Education Department. McMahon, a former Small Business Administration head, will oversee an agency Trump aims to dismantle. She has previously supported charter schools and school choice. Trump also nominated Dr. Oz to lead Medicare and Medicaid, and Howard Lutnick for Commerce. These appointments reflect Trump's focus on reshaping government agencies to align with his policies. If confirmed by the Senate, McMahon will work to implement Trump's vision for education, which includes cutting federal funding for schools promoting certain curricula.
