“I’ll just be blunt: Betsy DeVos is the worst Secretary of Education we’ve seen,” Warren told supporters.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren promised Monday that she would choose a former public school teacher as Secretary of Education if she was elected president.
Warren’s announcement was a sign of how Betsy DeVos, President Donald Trump’s education secretary, has become a rallying point for Democrats on the campaign trail — a figure who, more than any other Trump administration figure, draws boos and hisses at Democratic rallies across the country. “I’ll just be blunt: Betsy DeVos is the worst Secretary of Education we’ve seen,” Warren told supporters in the email. “She and her team are up to their eyeballs in conflicts of interest. Instead of championing our students, they protect for-profit colleges that break the law and cheat them.”
Warren, the 69-year-old Massachusetts senator, has made her presidential campaign a sweeping call for the “big, structural change” needed, she says, to root out corruption and rewire a government and political system that serves corporate interests.
