dawn.com —
President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Linda McMahon as the new education secretary. McMahon, a former WWE CEO, has been a strong advocate for universal school choice and previously led the Small Business Administration under Trump. McMahon was initially considered for the commerce secretary position but was ultimately chosen to lead the education department, which Trump has suggested he would like to abolish. However, he may need congressional approval to do so. McMahon has been involved with pro-Trump organizations and served as chair of the America First Policy Institute. She will focus on expanding educational opportunities for children across the United States.
