Daily Mail: has tapped his transition co-hair and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) co-founder Linda McMahon as his Education Secretary.The 76-year-old was in the running to be the president-elect's pick to be Commerce Secretary but eventually lost out to Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick, CNN first reported.
McMahon could be the nation's last education secretary, as Trump has vowed to move its administration back to the states.
He has warned that shutting down the department could come early in his second term, but would need congressional approval to do it.
