Linda McMahon’s time spent in the Presidential Administration appears to be over. Multiple sources close to the White House are reporting that McMahon plans to step down from her current position and rejoin the private sector.
One source, however, stated that McMahon still plans to play a role with Donald Trump’s quest for re-election in 2020. According to this source, McMahon will serve in a fundraising role for the President as he seeks re-election next year.
The move is being seen as a surprise to some who expected her to replace Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who is also expected to resign at some point.
