Linda McMahon appointed as Secretary of Education

Linda McMahon has been selected by Donald Trump as his nominee for Secretary of Education. McMahon has a business background, having led the Small Business Administration during Trump's first administration, and has expressed support for expanding universal school choice. Trump has promised to "send education back to the states," suggesting a potential shift in federal education policy. McMahon's nomination is notable given Trump's previous proposal to abolish the Department of Education, an agency she will be tasked with overseeing if confirmed. Her experience in business and politics makes her a relative unknown in education circles.
