Despite McMahon’s lack of experience, she will be responsible for advancing Trump’s consequential plans to hobble the Education Department—including changes to Title IX sex discrimination policy, which Trump has struck down—or even abolishing the department entirely, as Trump and his top advisors Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have vowed to do.

McMahon Is A Close Trump Political Ally Who Gave Millions To Pro-Trump PACs And Chaired A Right-Wing Think Tank Stacked With Trump Officials
McMahon is board chair of America First Policy Institute (AFPI), a right-wing think tank established by former Trump officials in the wake of his 2020 defeat that has been “closely involved in planning” for Trump’s second term. Trump bolstered the organization following its launch, with his Save America PAC giving $1 million to AFPI following the group’s launch in 2021. Trump has reportedly complained that AFPI owes him money due to how much fundraising it had done off of its associations with him.
