Trump plans to appoint Linda McMahon as education secretary

President-elect Donald Trump plans to appoint Linda McMahon as education secretary. McMahon, a former WWE CEO and head of the Small Business Administration from 2017 to 2019, will take the role after Howard Lutnick was chosen for commerce secretary. McMahon has been involved in pro-Trump initiatives, including leading the America First Policy Institute. She previously ran for the Senate in Connecticut but lost both times. Trump has expressed a desire to abolish the federal Department of Education, citing concerns over its influence. However, achieving this would require significant bipartisan support in Congress, which may be challenging.
