Trump appoints Linda McMahon as education secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Linda McMahon as the new education secretary. McMahon, a former wrestling executive and past head of the Small Business Administration, was previously considered for the commerce secretary position. McMahon has been a strong advocate for parents' rights and universal school choice. She has worked with the America First Policy Institute to promote educational opportunities for children across various states. This appointment comes despite Trump's previous statements about wanting to abolish the education department, a move that would require congressional approval.
