Trump nominates Linda McMahon to lead Department of Education and shift control to states

Donald Trump has nominated Linda McMahon, former WWE CEO, to lead the Department of Education. McMahon aims to shift education control back to the states, aligning with Republican goals to limit federal education influence. McMahon previously led the Small Business Administration during Trump's first term. Her tenure was marked by significant job losses and lower small-business growth compared to the current administration. McMahon's background in wrestling and her lack of formal education experience mirror that of former education secretary Betsy DeVos. Her nomination reflects Trump's ongoing opposition to public education and federal oversight.
