Donald Trump Nominates Linda McMahon For Education Secretary After Pledging To Shut Department Down


Donald Trump has nominated Linda McMahon for education secretary and Mehmet Oz as picks after Elon Musk, Robert F Kennedy Jr.

Trump announced the pick just after he chose TV doctor Mehmet Oz to serve as administrator of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services on his Truth Social app last night, saying that McMahon would “use her decades of leadership experience, and deep understanding of both Education and Business, to empower the next Generation of American Students and Workers.” McMahon, who resigned as CEO of WWE in 2009 to run for senate, is tasked with leading a department that Trump has been heavily critical of, and one that he has said could be closed down. Other eye-catching noms include Elon Musk leading a new Department of Government Efficiency, vaccine-sceptic Robert F Kennedy Jr handed the Health Secretary brief and under-fire Matt Gaetz given Attorney General.
