Pro Wrestling Billionaire To Be Education Secretary

CNN reports:

Trump transition co-chair Linda McMahon is expected to be named as secretary of the Department of Education, four sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

She is the board chair of the America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump think tank that was formed in 2021 by McMahon, Larry Kudlow and other advisers from the first Trump administration.

McMahon is also the former CEO of the WWE, which she co-founded with her husband, Vince McMahon. As head of the WWE, McMahon oversaw its transformation from a small wrestling entertainment company into a publicly traded media empire. She stepped down as CEO in 2009.

Read the full article. McMahon is a twice-failed Senate candidate, having spent $100 million of her own money on her 2010 and 2012 campaigns. Her current net worth is estimated at $3.2 billion. At least it won’t be Ryan Walters.
