Betsey DeVos was asked if she's glad to be education secretary. She responded, 'I am indeed. Most days I am.'
Washington After a rough week in which she spent three days defending a proposed funding cut to the Special Olympics only to be later openly reversed by the President, Betsy DeVos said Friday that she's still happy to be education secretary.
DeVos was asked if she's glad to be in her position during an interview on stage at a summit sponsored by the National Review Institute in Washington, DC."I am indeed. Yes," she replied, as the crowd laughed -- but then added,"Most days I am."DeVos appeared twice on the Hill this week to defend her budget proposal.
