The Senate confirmed Linda McMahon to lead the Education Department by a party-line vote of 51 to 45.
Note: Confirmation requires a simple majority of voting senators.
Ms. McMahon ran World Wrestling Entertainment for decades before serving as administrator of the Small Business Administration during much of President Trump’s first term. During the confirmation process, she laid out plans to significantly diminish the agency’s role but stopped short of embracing comments by Mr. Trump that the Education Department should be eliminated entirely.
