Trump nominates Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education to shift control to states

Donald Trump has nominated Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education, shifting from her initial consideration for the Commerce Department. McMahon aims to return education control to state governments, aligning with Trump's plan to reduce federal oversight. McMahon previously led the Small Business Administration from 2017 to 2019 and co-founded World Wrestling Entertainment. She has also been involved in politics, running for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut in 2010. Recently, both McMahons were named in a lawsuit regarding alleged abuse within WWE. Despite this, she has remained active in conservative politics, serving as chair of a think tank supporting Trump’s policies.
