Trump nominates Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education in new administration role

Donald Trump has nominated Linda McMahon, former CEO of WWE, as Secretary of Education. McMahon previously served as Administrator of the Small Business Administration during Trump's first term and has run for U.S. Senate twice. Trump's selection of McMahon follows his earlier promise to shut down the Department of Education. He has criticized schools for promoting what he calls inappropriate content and plans to cut federal funding to schools that teach certain topics. In addition to McMahon, Trump has also nominated Dr. Mehmet Oz for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and Matt Gaetz as Attorney General.
