Linda McMahon has issued her first statement since being named the next US Secretary of Education by President-elect Donald Trump.
The former WWE CEO took to Twitter to repost the statement from President Trump, and wrote that she is looking forward to working with students and educators to strengthen the US education system:
“I look forward to working collaboratively with students – educators – parents and communities to strengthen our educational system; ensuring every child regardless of their demographics is prepared for a bright future.”

Linda McMahon’s Political Career
Linda McMahon previously served as the Administrator of the Small Business Administration between 2017 and 2019, during Trump’s first term.
She played a crucial role in getting the Businessman-politician re-elected. McMahon was one of the top donors of the 2024 Republican campaign and she was also named the co-chair of Trump’s 2024 transition team.
