Editor's Take:
Linda McMahon's career spans business, philanthropy and politics. She helped turn a regional wrestling promotion into a multinational company, handling merchandising, trademarks and major television negotiations. Her two Senate bids failed despite heavy personal spending, yet she stayed active as a Republican fundraiser and donor. That loyalty led to roles under Donald Trump, first at the Small Business Administration and then at the Education Department. Her tenure there has been defined by a stated aim to shrink the department, and by legal fights over staff cuts.
