Trump plans to appoint Linda McMahon as Education Secretary

Donald Trump is expected to appoint Linda McMahon, co-founder of World Wrestling Entertainment, as his Education Secretary. McMahon was previously considered for the Commerce Secretary role but lost to Howard Lutnick. McMahon's appointment signals a shift in focus, as Trump aims to move education administration back to the states. This could potentially lead to the dismantling of the Department of Education, which would require congressional approval. Betsy DeVos, Trump's first education secretary, has suggested ways to reduce the department's influence, including tax credits for school choice and block grants to states. DeVos expressed optimism about Trump's commitment to education reform in his second term.
