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.

“There will be...changes made...involving a steel cage and a bunch of folding chairs.”
that’s certainly a good start ...
He could just go ahead and promote people who have never accomplished anything but are not pushing 70.
New first question on SBA loans:
Are you a pencil neck geek?
That’s good, but I think Trump would be spectacular driving in a demolition derby.
You should be thankful he is selecting for experience (that often requires age) and not for racial, deviant personality, and sexual perversion characteristics.
So SBA stands for Secretary of Bad Assness?
Rasslin’ lady.
Donald’s enemies and friends must both be wondering what in the world he is up to.
“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.”
Right! No Republican Primaries, just a cage match!
Well, with the miracles of modern medicine, it can be, with the right persons.
Plus I believe the good Lord is about to work a lot of miracles of preservation. Donald is mighty hale and hearty for his 70 years.
It’s all choreographed of course... drama acting. Hardly anybody gets seriously hurt.
Why do you say that? Do you know what it does?
Why do you say that?
Because I believe in limited government.
Do you know what it does?
Yes.
Good for him
He is trying to catch up to the Dem leadership cabal in Congress. They are pushing 80.
Oh get over your own self The people he’s picking can out work almost anyone out there except maybe trump himself
Perhaps you'd like to keep things as they were?
Oh enough already. You lost that battle before you were even able to vote. Your continuing blather is boring
Like it or don’t we start from where we are. The left knows that well. We need to make inroads and cut away. We will never get a whole loaf so be happy with what we can get. Take more next go around
Oh please let him pick Dwayne Johnson for something.
Special PR Envoy to Hollywood, maybe.
Keep barking. Won’t do any good. We will never get a whole loaf. We need to take slices where we can and more the next time around
