Trump Nominates Linda McMahon for Education Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Linda McMahon to lead the Department of Education in his second term. McMahon, a former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and a close ally of Trump, has been a prominent figure in his administration, having previously served as the head of the Small Business Administration (SBA) during his first term. The nomination signals Trump’s commitment to appointing individuals with whom he shares strong political ties.

McMahon’s nomination comes as part of Trump’s broader strategy to form a Cabinet filled with individuals who supported his 2024 campaign. The announcement also includes other significant picks: Dr. Mehmet Oz, a well-known TV personality, has been nominated to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), while billionaire Howard Lutnick has been named as Trump’s nominee for Commerce Secretary. These appointments highlight Trump’s focus on leveraging influential figures from various sectors, including media and business, to steer key governmental roles.

As Trump sets the stage for his second term, the nominations reflect his ongoing vision for reshaping the federal government with loyal allies who align with his policy goals.
