Small Business Administration head Linda McMahon is expected to announce her resignation from President Donald Trump’s Cabinet as early as Friday.
The reason for McMahon’s resignation is presently unknown. According to Politico, people close to the longtime business executive say she plans to rejoin the private sector, where she previously served as CEO of the WWE.
Politico reports:
McMahon, who has known Trump for years, has kept a relatively low profile at SBA. Unlike other Trump administration Cabinet officials, she has not been dogged by scandal. Inside the White House, she’s seen as a loyal foot soldier. She regularly travels around the country to promote the president’s agenda, including recent trips to promote the new U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal.
McMahon is scheduled to attend a fundraiser with President at Mar-a-Lago, his private Florida club, over the weekend.
Fox News’ Brooke Singman said McMahon will not be joining President Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign.

While it is unclear who will replace McMahon, Pradeep Belur, the SBA’s chief of staff, has been floated as a possible contender.
