  • 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. McMahon's tenure as head of the Small Business Administration (SBA) under Trump, where she focused on expanding access to capital for small businesses, might be seen as relevant experience in managing large organizations. However, her controversial past, including her involvement with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and her substantial personal wealth, could pose challenges during her confirmation process. Critics argue that her business background does not directly translate to the nuanced demands of educational leadership, especially in areas like curriculum development, teacher training, and educational equity.
