Linda McMahon Nominated as Education Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Linda McMahon, former CEO of WWE and past Administrator of the Small Business Administration, as Secretary of Education. McMahon, born in North Carolina and raised in a modest household, co-founded WWE with her husband Vince McMahon, transforming it into a global entertainment powerhouse. Despite her significant business experience, McMahon has limited direct involvement in education, having only served on the Connecticut Board of Education for one year and as a trustee for Sacred Heart University. She has expressed support for charter schools and school choice, aligning with Trump's educational reform agenda. McMahon's previous political endeavors include two unsuccessful Senate runs in Connecticut. Her nomination reflects Trump's commitment to appointing figures with a business-oriented approach to government roles.
