• Sen. Tammy Baldwin expressed concern over education secretary nominee Linda McMahon’s commitment to handling $exual assault claims on campuses, citing a lawsuit alleging WWE leaders failed to act on past abuse allegations.
During McMahon’s confirmation hearing, Baldwin referenced the ‘ring boys’ suit and said: “I am so concerned about whether $exual assault survivors on campus can trust you to support them.”
McMahon responded: “They certainly can trust me to support them. You have my absolute commitment that I will uphold and protect those investigations to make sure that those students are treated fairly on both sides.”
If confirmed, McMahon would oversee a department serving over 50 million students. While President Trump has indicated plans to eliminate the Department of Education, McMahon acknowledged this would require congressional approval but expressed support for overhauling the department.
Baldwin called Title IX a “critical tool” for protecting students and questioned McMahon on enforcement, including whether schools should investigate off-campus assaults. McMahon affirmed: “I don’t believe there should be any acceptance of $exual harassment, Senator.”
