President Donald Trump's pick to head the Department of Education, Linda McMahon, will testify before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee on Thursday.
McMahon will focus her remarks on enacting Trump's vision with the idea that "education is the issue that determines our national success and prepares American workers to win the future," according to an excerpt of her opening remarks, shared first with Fox News Digital. Aubrie Spady is a Writer for Fox News Digital.
"I would like to thank President Trump for his confidence in me to lead a Department whose mission and authority were a special focus of his campaign. He pledged to make American education the best in the world, return education to the states where it belongs, and free American students from the education bureaucracy through school choice," McMahon will say in her opening remarks.
