McMahon, who ran for Commerce Secretary, headed the Small Business Administration in the first Trump administration and was a major donor and one of the Republican president-elect’s earliest supporters when he first ran for the White House nearly a decade ago. The co-founder and former CEO of professional wrestling franchise WWE, she left the SBA in 2019 to lead the Trump-supporting spending group America First Action.
Trump tapped her to co-lead a transition team created to help vet personnel and develop policy ahead of the November 5 election.
McMahon was going to lead the Commerce Department, but on Tuesday Trump instead chose his co-head of the transition team Cantor Fitzgerald, Howard Lutnick’s chief executive, for the post.
