Trump plans to appoint Linda McMahon as education secretary

President-elect Trump plans to appoint Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education. McMahon, a former WWE CEO and head of the Small Business Administration from 2017 to 2019, is currently a transition co-chair. McMahon has been involved in pro-Trump initiatives, including leading the America First Policy Institute. She has a history of significant campaign spending, including millions on her own Senate runs. Trump aims to abolish the federal Department of Education, citing concerns over its influence. However, achieving this would require bipartisan support in Congress, which may be challenging given past opposition from some Republicans.
