Trump said he believes that McMahon will use her leadership experience to โ€˜make America Number One in Education in the World.โ€™

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Tuesday night that he has selected Linda McMahon to serve as secretary of the Department of Education, a department he has pledged to abolish.

The position requires Senate confirmation. McMahon, 76, currently co-chairs Trumpโ€™s transition team.

McMahon previously held the role of administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) during Trumpโ€™s first term. She resigned from SBA in 2019 and chaired the America First Action, a pro-Trump SuperPAC.

Trump said that McMahon will โ€œfight tirelesslyโ€ to expand school choice to every state across the United States and empower parents to make right educational decisions for their children.

With her leadership experience and background in education and business, Trump said that McMahon could empower the countryโ€™s next generation and โ€œmake America Number One in Education in the World.โ€

โ€œWe will send Education BACK TO THE STATES, and Linda will spearhead that effort,โ€ he said in a statement posted on Truth Social.

Trump stated that McMahon has a โ€œdeep understanding of both education and business,โ€ citing her time serving on the Connecticut Board of Education and the Board of Trustees at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut.

He heralded her work with America First Policy Institute and America First Works as instrumental in 12 states adopting universal school choice over the past four years, โ€œgiving children the opportunity to receive an excellent Education, regardless of zip code or income.โ€

The Department of Education is responsible for overseeing policies related to federal financial aid for education, managing the distribution of those funds, and monitoring their use, according to its website.

โ€œWe will ultimately eliminate the federal Department of Education,โ€ Trump said at a September campaign rally in Wisconsin.

He promised to stop the agency from abusing taxpayer money to โ€œindoctrinate Americaโ€™s youth with all sorts of things that you donโ€™t want to have our youth hearing.โ€

McMahon and her husband, Vince McMahon, co-founded the WWE professional wrestling promotion company, where she also served as CEO.
