Trump nominates Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education

President-elect Donald Trump has selected Linda McMahon as his nominee for Secretary of Education. McMahon previously led the Small Business Administration and is currently co-chair of Trump's transition team. If confirmed, McMahon will oversee a department Trump aims to restructure, allowing states to manage education independently. She has criticized diversity and inclusion programs, arguing they complicate workforce training. McMahon is a significant donor to Trump's campaign and has ties to conservative initiatives. She joins other recent Cabinet picks, including Howard Lutnick for commerce secretary.
