Linda McMahon, a former WWE executive, has been nominated by Trump to lead the Department of Education. Her background is primarily in business, with limited experience in education, including a year on the Connecticut Board of Education. Critics, including the National Education Association, argue that McMahon is unqualified for the role, citing her lack of public school experience and questioning her educational credentials. Some educators have called for the Senate to reject her nomination. Supporters, including Connecticut's Democratic Senators, acknowledge her business acumen. McMahon has previously served in Trump's administration and has expressed alignment with his views on education and social issues.
