President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday selected his transition co-chair, Linda McMahon, to serve as secretary of the Department of Education — an agency that he and his allies have pledged to abolish.
McMahon, 76, previously served as the head of the Small Business Administration during Trump’s first term and is the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, a company she started with her husband, Vince McMahon.
