Time is running out for short-term Pell to pass in the 118th, but proponents of the policy are hopeful for the future. Linda McMahon, nominee for Education secretary, has spoken favorably about the grants. Little is known about her plans for the department and her experience in education is thin, but she has penned an op-ed throwing her support behind the Bipartisan Workforce Pell Act, sponsored by Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Bobby Scott (D-Va.), Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), and Mark DeSaulnier (D-Calif.).
