Controversy Surrounds Linda McMahon's Education Secretary Nomination Amid WWE Past and Legal Issues

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump has nominated Linda McMahon, a billionaire donor with limited education policy experience, as his pick for Education Secretary, drawing comparisons to Betsy DeVos. McMahon, who previously led the Small Business Administration, is expected to support school choice and roll back Biden-era student debt policies. While she has not publicly addressed controversial culture war issues, her affiliation with the America First Policy Institute suggests a conservative agenda. Her nomination is likely to pass the Senate easily, despite some concerns over her past involvement with World Wrestling Entertainment.
