  • World Wresting Entertainment co-founder Linda McMahon has been getting high marks from her meetings with the Republican senators who could decide whether she'll be the next secretary of education.

Linda McMahon, a former wrestling executive and two-time Republican Senate candidate, is being considered for the position of Education Secretary in the Trump administration. Despite her lack of formal experience in education policy, her background in business and her political connections, particularly her support for President Trump during his campaign, make her a potential candidate.
