Trump Names Billionaire Linda McMahon as Education Secretary Amid Plans to Dismantle Department
Nov 20, 2024, 02:11 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated billionaire Linda McMahon, co-founder and former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and former Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA), to be the next Secretary of Education. McMahon, who served as a co-chair of Trump's transition team, is a longtime ally and major supporter of Trump since his first campaign. She previously served on the Connecticut Board of Education and is an advocate for parents' rights and expanding school choice nationwide. McMahon is expected to spearhead efforts to decentralize education and send control back to the states, aligning with Trump's plan to potentially dismantle the Department of Education.
