Trump picks pro-voucher conservative for Education Secretary
President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Betsy DeVos, a wealthy pro-voucher Republican activist, to head the Education Department.
Her record puts her dead center within establishment Republican Party circles.
In related news, Trump has chosen Elaine Chao as Transportation Secretary. Chao was previously labor secretary in the last Bush administration, and also happens to be the wife of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Once again, someone deeply linked to the establishment Republican Party.
At the same time, both picks have strong links to the very conservative Heritage Foundation.
