November 20th 2024.
The news has just broken that President-elect Donald Trump has selected Linda McMahon, a billionaire and professional wrestling mogul, as his nominee for Secretary of the Education Department. This crucial role will involve overseeing an agency that Trump has promised to overhaul.
McMahon is no stranger to the political scene, having previously served as the head of the Small Business Administration during Trump's first term in office from 2017 to 2019. She also ran twice for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut, both times as a Republican candidate. In fact, she was recently seen speaking on stage at the Republican National Convention in 2024.
Aside from her political experience, McMahon also has a background in education. She served on the Connecticut Board of Education for a year starting in 2009 and has been a member of the board of trustees for Sacred Heart University in her home state. However, she is not widely known in education circles, which has sparked some curiosity and uncertainty about her potential approach to the role.
While McMahon's views on education may not be well-known, she has expressed support for charter schools and school choice in the past. These are hot-button issues that are likely to be closely watched and debated during her nomination process. As with any developing story, there may be updates and developments in the coming days, so stay tuned for more information.
