The announcement comes after Trump nominated his other transition co-chair Howard Lutnick for Commerce Secretary.

President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday nominated his transition team co-chair Linda McMahon for his Education Secretary.

McMahon, who led the Small Business Administration (SBA) during Trump's first term in office, has been a major Republican donor for decades, and previously ran to represent Connecticut in the Senate in 2010 and 2012. She is also the co-founder of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), alongside her husband Vince McMahon, CNN reported.

The former Trump administration official is also the board chair of the pro-Trump think tank America First Policy Institute.

The announcement comes after Trump nominated his other transition co-chair Howard Lutnick for Commerce Secretary.

"I am thrilled to announce that Howard Lutnick, Chairman & CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, will join my Administration as the United States Secretary of Commerce," Trump announced. "He will lead our Tariff and Trade agenda, with additional direct responsibility for the Office of the United States Trade Representative."

I’m having so much fun with these nominations.

And Trump is going to stuff them down the throats of Thune and McConnell.

This does not sound promising to end the DoEd - that is unless it’s just for show for the coming months.

I guess Liz Devis didn’t want to reclaim that position. She was education secretary for Trump the first time.
She seemed quite dedicated.
