Trump Reportedly Considering WWE Co-Founder Linda McMahon for Education Secretary
Former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) co-founder and former Small Business Administration administrator Linda McMahon is apparently being considered by former President Donald Trump for the position of Education Secretary, which is a shocking possible choice. If chosen, McMahon would contribute a unique background to a role that is often filled by people with a wealth of education policy knowledge.
During Trump’s presidency, Linda McMahon, who co-founded WWE into a worldwide entertainment conglomerate with her husband, Vince McMahon, was a member of his cabinet. She worked to encourage entrepreneurship and assist small businesses throughout her time as the Director of the Small Business Administration. However, considering that she has no official connections to education, her name being proposed for Education Secretary has drawn criticism.
Supporters think her executive leadership expertise might provide a new angle on education reform, while critics say this possible nomination highlights a trend of unconventional cabinet picks under Trump’s presidency.
The rumors have not yet been verified by McMahon or Trump’s aides. This move coincides with more general conjecture on Trump’s potential cabinet selections when he runs for reelection in 2024.
