Linda McMahon Officially Set To Join Donald Trump's Administration

President-elect Donald Trump announced today that he will nominate Linda McMahon to head the Small Business Administration.

"Linda has a tremendous background and is widely recognized as one of the country's top female executives advising businesses around the globe," Trump said in a statement. "She helped grow WWE from a modest 13-person operation to a publicly traded global enterprise with more than 800 employees in offices worldwide.

"Linda is going to be a phenomenal leader and champion for small businesses and unleash America's entrepreneurial spirit all across the country."

Linda McMahon, who donated millions for President-elect Donald Trump's campaign this year, met with Trump in Manhattan last week and noted that they "had a really good conversation."

"Anytime the president-elect of the United States asks you to come in for a conversation, you're happy to do that," she told reporters after last week's meeting. "We talked about business and entrepreneurs and creating jobs, we had a really good conversation."
