4:29Now PlayingSen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, made his opening statement Thursday in the confirmation hearing for Linda McMahon to be President Donald Trump’s education secretary.
McMahon is a former pro-wrestling executive who led the Small Business Administration during Trump’s first term. She has little background in education policy, serving about a year on the Connecticut State Board of Education.
The Trump administration, along with efficiency czar Elon Musk, is already moving forward with plans to dismantle the Department of Education, which McMahon would lead if confirmed.
