MILWAUKEE, Wisc. – In an unprecedented interview for pro-wrestling podcasts, we’re joined by former WWE owner Linda McMahon, who built the WWE alongside her longtime husband Vince McMahon.
But several years ago Linda McMahon stepped away from WWE to pursue a career in politics. Following two failed runs for the U.S. Senate in the McMahon home state of Connecticut, she was tapped by former President Donald Trump to head up the Small Business Administration and served in his Cabinet.
Linda McMahon stepped away from the Administration midway through Trump’s term to take on other priorities but remained a large financial and political backer of Trump.
In this interview, I caught up with Linda McMahon at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, where she will be a featured speaker.
Linda McMahon discusses her time in wrestling, politics and the status of her family, which has undergone intense scrutiny over the past year following revelations about Vince McMahon which include a Department of Justice investigation.
