Linda Mcmahon Expected To Be Named Education Secretary

U.S. Department of Education

President-elect Donald Trump's transition team is making moves to fill key positions in his administration. One of the latest developments is the expected appointment of Linda McMahon as Education Secretary, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The decision to consider McMahon for the Education Secretary role came after it was apparent that she would not be chosen for the Commerce Secretary position. Instead, Trump appointed her co-chair, Howard Lutnick, to lead the Commerce Department. This decision followed Lutnick's interest in the Treasury Secretary position, which led to a competition with hedge fund manager Scott Bessent.

Howard Lutnick appointed co-chair of Commerce Department instead of Linda McMahon.

Linda McMahon expected to be appointed Education Secretary in Trump administration.

Lutnick's interest in Treasury Secretary position led to appointment in Commerce Department.

There was reportedly some disappointment among certain members of the transition team regarding the domino effect of appointing Lutnick to Commerce and its impact on other cabinet positions.
