Who is Linda McMohan? All About WWE Co-Founder as Donald Trump Nominates Her as Education Secretary

As an avid follower of political developments and a lover of intriguing personalities, I find myself captivated by the nomination of Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education under President Trump. Her impressive career trajectory spanning sports entertainment, business, education policy, and even professional wrestling, makes her an enigma in the world of politics.


After being re-elected, Donald Trump has turned into a central figure for his announcements and decisions. Once more, the 47th President of the United States grabbed attention by proposing Linda McMahon for the position of Secretary of Education.

In my perspective, while McMahon may not be a household name for some, her impact on various fields, particularly sports entertainment, throughout her distinguished career is undeniable.

During Trump’s previous tenure at the White House, she held the position of the Administrator for the Small Business Administration. It is said that she currently functions as both the chairman and CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald.

Furthermore, McMohan held a position on the Connecticut Board of Education for a span of two years. Her professional background additionally features her role as Chair of the Board at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) and America First Works (AFW).

However, let’s clarify: McMohan, who is a former professional wrestler, and her spouse, Vince McMohan, jointly established World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). In addition to this, she held an executive position within the company.

In 2009, it was said that she resigned her role to contest for a seat in Connecticut’s U.S. Senate, as reported by People magazine.

Reportedly, news regarding McMohan’s nomination was recently published on November 19, with the President commending her outstanding work as a co-chair of the transition team in writing.

Trump went on to say, “As our Secretary of Education, Linda will relentlessly work towards extending ‘Educational Choice’ across all American states, allowing parents the freedom to choose what’s best for their children’s education.” He further stated, “We aim to return control of education back to the individual states, and Linda will lead this initiative.

According to the report, during his campaign, Trump criticized the Department of Education for its inefficiency and for employing people who were allegedly hostile towards children.

It’s said that Trump suggested eliminating an agency and reducing federal financing for any institution or educational program that teaches “critical race theory, gender ideology, or other unsuitable racial, sexual, or political material to our youngsters.

Additionally, he voiced his intention to identify and eliminate individuals who have infiltrated the Federal Department of Education, while maintaining a policy that keeps men out of women’s sports.
