Trump Nominates McMahon, Seeks Education Dept. Abolition

News summary

President Donald Trump has announced Linda McMahon as his nominee for Secretary of Education with the objective of dismantling the U.S. Department of Education. Trump has expressed a long-standing desire to eliminate the department, citing conservative principles and a preference for states managing their education systems. Although Trump is contemplating executive action, legal experts argue that abolishing the department would require Congressional approval. The department has a significant budget, with $241.66 billion in resources last fiscal year, largely funding federal student aid programs. McMahon has publicly supported Trump's vision, although her confirmation as Secretary is pending due to delays in ethics paperwork. Despite Trump's intentions, skepticism remains about the feasibility of his plan due to political and legal challenges.
