Former President Donald Trump vows to shut down Department of Education in second term.

Former President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that if elected president, he will abolish the federal Department of Education and transfer control of education to the states.

"I will shut down the federal Department of Education and we will move everything back to the states where it belongs and where they can individualize education and do it with the love for their children," the presumptive GOP nominee said.

Trump made this announcement at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” conference in Washington, DC on Saturday afternoon.


Trump has proposed abolishing the federal Department of Education multiple times during his presidential campaigns, much to the delight of his conservative base.

Trump recently explained in an interview with Fox and Friends that his administration would "cut the Department of Education" to have it instead be run locally. He continued by saying that this effort to remove the federal education department would happen "immediately" after being elected.

Trump told the outlet that he was ready to implement this action in his first administration before COVID-19 impacted the country and became a priority for policy decisions.

Many conservatives have celebrated the moves towards getting rid of the agency, believing that the federal Department of Education has become a hub for excessive spending with insufficient benefits and a means for the left to impose their political views on students.

Trump's proposal to abolish the Department of Education is in line with his conservative values and his belief in limited government. He has long been a critic of federal overreach and has advocated for more power to be given to the states.

Trump's announcement comes as the country is grappling with the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted education for millions of students. Many parents and educators have expressed frustration with the federal government's response to the crisis and have called for more local control over education.

Trump's proposal to abolish the Department of Education is likely to be popular among his conservative base, but it is also likely to face opposition from Democrats and some Republicans who believe that the federal government has an important role to play in education.

Trump's announcement is a clear sign that he is positioning himself as a champion of conservative values and limited government. It remains to be seen whether his proposal will resonate with voters in the upcoming election.

As of now, Trump has not announced his running mate for the upcoming election. However, he has confirmed that he has made his decision and that the candidate will be present at next week’s presidential debate between Trump and President Biden.

The names on the shortlist for Trump's running mate include Senator JD Vance (R-OH), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), Dr. Ben Carson and North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum.

Trump has said that he is looking for a running mate who can raise money, be an effective surrogate on TV with adversarial media, and do the best job debating Kamala Harris.

Trump's announcement to abolish the Department of Education is a bold move that is sure to generate debate and discussion in the coming weeks and months. It is a clear sign that Trump is positioning himself as a champion of conservative values and limited government.

As the election approaches, it will be interesting to see how Trump's proposal to abolish the Department of Education is received by voters. Will it be a winning issue for Trump, or will it be a liability? Only time will tell.
