The McMahon family reacts to Linda McMahon's cabinet appointment
Former WWE President and CEO Linda McMahon was appointed Wednesday by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as the head of the Small Business Administration.
McMahon, the wife of Vince McMahon, became the president of WWE in 1993 and later became the CEO of the company in 1997, but left WWE in 2009 to pursue a political career. McMahon ran for a Senate seat in Connecticut as a Republican in 2010 and 2012, but lost in both elections.
Trump, who hosted two early WrestleManias, was inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.
Honored to be appointed by President-Elect @realDonaldTrump to serve as head of @SBAgov advocating for our small businesses & entrepreneurs!
