Trump appoints Linda McMahon as Education Secretary in new cabinet lineup

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Linda McMahon, a professional wrestling executive, as the new secretary of the Education Department. McMahon previously led the Small Business Administration and has expressed support for charter schools. Trump aims to align education with his vision, which includes cutting federal funding for certain educational content. Dr. Mehmet Oz, a former TV host and heart surgeon, has been chosen to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Oz's role will involve overseeing health insurance programs for millions of Americans. He has previously expressed support for health reforms but lacks formal qualifications for the position. Howard Lutnick, a Wall Street executive, will head the Commerce Department, focusing on tariffs and trade policies. Lutnick is a key figure in Trump's transition team and has advocated for protective tariffs to support American workers.
