Linda McMahon, best known to many listeners as the former head of World Wrestling Entertainment, served as Administrator of the Small Business Administration under President Donald Trump from 2017 to 2019, but recent news coverage shows that current developments at the agency are unfolding under her successors, not under her direct leadership today. According to Politico, the current Small Business Administration Administrator is former Senator Kelly Loeffler, who appeared alongside Education Secretary Linda McMahon at the American Principles Project Gala in Washington, where both officials were highlighted for their roles in the Trump administration and its policy agenda. Politico notes that McMahon was a headliner at the event, underscoring her ongoing prominence within conservative policy circles even though she no longer runs the Small Business Administration.

Fox News reports that at this same American Principles Project Gala, McMahon, now serving as Education Secretary, recounted a recent exchange with a parent of a child with special needs who feared that dismantling the Department of Education would end critical services. McMahon emphasized that federal special education funding would continue, explaining that the money ultimately flows from Congress and describing the department as a pass through rather than the true source of the funds. She argued that shifting programs to other agencies and reducing regulations would still protect students while giving more power to parents and local officials. Fox News describes how McMahon framed this as a way to get money to children more efficiently and to move control of education closer to families and states.

The Circle News adds that the Trump administration recently moved oversight of tribal colleges from the Department of Education to the Department of the Interior. The publication reports that this reorganization followed broader efforts by Education Secretary Linda McMahon to rethink which federal departments should manage certain education responsibilities, aligning with her stated vision of a leaner federal role and stronger state and local control. While this change does not directly involve the Small Business Administration, it highlights how McMahon continues to influence structural decisions across the federal government in her current cabinet role.

Listeners should note that current news about audits and fraud crackdowns at the Small Business Administration, such as the sweeping review of the 8 a Business Development Program described by law firm Crowell and Morning and covered by Homeland Security Today, are being directed by Administrator Kelly Loeffler, not by Linda McMahon. McMahon’s present impact on policy is centered in education, while the Small Business Administration’s current actions are being driven by the leaders who followed her.
