LINCOLN, NE – The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb issues the following statement regarding the confirmation of Linda McMahon as the new Secretary of Education:

“Donald Trump has joined hands with his billionaire donor Linda McMahon to carry out his wildly unpopular Project 2025 agenda to abolish the Department of Education and decimate Nebraska public schools, particularly in rural communities. Nebraskans deserve better than an underqualified loyalist who lied about having an education degree. Make no mistake: Trump and McMahon are setting up our students for failure and screwing over hardworking families in our state.”
