Recent reports from eWn highlight that Linda McMahon, ex-WWE executive, is possibly in the lead for the Department of Commerce’s stewardship under the anticipated administration of President-elect Donald Trump.
In a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, a noteworthy fact was shared by Dave Meltzer, who mentioned receiving numerous calls from the media indicating Linda McMahon’s consideration for the position.
Meltzer shared that individuals in the media are preparing to draft articles upon the official announcement of this news. He also expressed his lack of surprise to hear Linda McMahon’s name included on the roster for Trump’s Cabinet.
Paraphrasing Meltzer’s comments, he said, “Though there has yet to be an official announcement — to be precise — there has been a significant influx of media calls regarding Linda McMahon and her potentially becoming the Secretary of Commerce. All signs currently indicate that this is the likely outcome, and it seems everyone is eagerly awaiting the official announcement. McMahon’s significant contributions as a Republican donor have granted her considerable influence within the party — that’s simply how politics operates. Some individuals might find this hard to swallow, and perhaps it is, yet it doesn’t appear any more absurd than some of the recent happenings in politics.”
McMahon has a history of serving in Trump’s Cabinet, having acted as the director of the Small Business Administration during Trump’s initial presidential term.
