From WWE co-founder to Trump’s Secretary of Education: The meteoric rise of Linda McMahon
Wednesday, 20 November 2024 () Linda McMahon co-founded WWE with her husband, Vince McMahon, transforming it into a global entertainment juggernaut. Her business acumen has been widely acknowledged, and she previously served as the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) during Trump’s presidency, where she advocated for small businesses and entrepreneurship. While her direct experience in education policy is limited, she has previously served on Connecticut’s Board of Education and as a trustee at a university. Her views on education align closely with Trump’s focus on school choice, parental rights, and a decentralized approach to education governance.
