Former WWE CEO to become US Education Secretary, why did Trump take this decision?

  New Delhi: After winning the presidential election, Donald Trump is selecting his cabinet colleagues for several big positions. During this, he has handed over the responsibility of the Education Department to former WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) CEO and professional wrestler Linda McMahon.

It is worth mentioning that she has been a part of the Trump government before. McMahon headed the Small Business Administration during Trump's first term from 2017 to 2019. She has also been a Republican candidate for the US Senate twice. However, both of them were unsuccessful in the subsequent elections. She is the wife of WWE founder Vince McMahon.

Trump has expressed confidence in his commitment. Trump has said that she will work hard to promote universal school choice across the country. In 2009, Linda McMahon worked for a year on the Connecticut Board of Education.
