U.S. President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate professional wrestling magnate and former Senate candidate Linda McMahon as his choice to head the Small Business Administration, transition officials told Reuters on Wednesday.
The announcement was expected later on Wednesday.
McMahon, 68, is a co-founder and former CEO of the professional wrestling franchise WWE, which is based in Stamford, Connecticut. She ran unsuccessfully for a U.S. Senate seat in Connecticut in 2010. She was an early supporter of Trump's presidential campaign.
The SBA, which has at least one office in every U.S. state, provides support to small businesses such as extending loans and making sure they get a percentage of federal contracts.
Trump's announcement, a copy of which was seen by Reuters, said McMahon would be a key player in his effort to generate stronger job growth and roll back federal regulations. He said she had helped the WWE grow from a 13-person operation to a publicly traded global enterprise with more than 800 employees worldwide. Donald Trump is a WWE Hall of Fame member.

As many as possible. Trump is 70. Reagan was up there, too.
It sure should drive the CT moonbats crazy.
And we got a lot of ‘em !
Thanks for that post. It made my day, I’m almost sixty-eight.
I’m hoping she’s going to plan the next Republican convention. There will be...changes made...involving a steel cage and a bunch of folding chairs.
In June, my Class of ‘60 is throwing a big big party....... we’ll all be 75!
What clause in Article 1 of the Constitution authorized the Congress to do any of this?
Anything that makes them foam at the mouth is great! Not tired of winning!
As a mid-40’s guy, I say let’s turn over government to the adults for a while. My generation and near it have proven disastrous.
By the way as my grandson reminds me Trump will be the ONLY President ever inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
I’m 77 also, and can work and think circles around people half my age. Knock on wood.
Maybe he’ll make the WWF the WWF again, and those bunny-huggers get a different name.
They are part of my generation (boomers) and it was always a wish as a young man to see the greatness of what I think was the last great generation (us) to lead our nation. Bet there are a lot of boomers on this board that feel the same.
And...pushing 70 isn’t old anymore.
Not to paint with a broad brush, but I’ll bet everyone here knows at least one set of grandparents who are raising their kid’s kids. The important thing is that we get things back on track and truly MAGA!
“How many people pushing 70 does he need in his cabinet????”
Assuming good health and good energy, an educated, intelligent and experienced 70 year old is 50 years wiser than an equivalent 20 year old, including themselves at 20.
Cracks me up every time I watch these two.
Illegal, unnecessary, wasteful, counterproductive, and a drain on the economy.

They are his contemporaries-——so what?
