Linda McMahon is not interested in a presidential run. During a recent appearance on Planet Tyrus, McMahon was asked directly whether she would ever consider running for President. Despite her long-standing ties to Donald Trump and her time serving in his administration, she left no room for interpretation in her response.
“Oh my gosh. No. That is definitely not [in] my future—no, definitely not. I’m very, very happy with what I’m doing. I’m very happy to be, you know—when you think about this—for me, you know, a little girl from New Bern, North Carolina. I just grew up in a very humble, middle-class family, an only child, great parents—just one of those wonderful childhood kind of things.
But I never dreamed, ever, that you’d be in the president’s cabinet, let alone have the opportunity to serve twice. Pretty amazing. And there are still pinch-me moments for me. I mean, I’m sitting in the cabinet room and I’m listening to the president and Marco Rubio, and they’re doing briefings on Iran and all of this stuff—and I’m thinking, you know, you’re really part of this real-life history. And it’s really a pinch-me moment to look around and think, well, that’s the secretary of war, that’s the secretary of this, that, and the other—and I’m going… and me,” McMahon said.
McMahon has served in Trump’s cabinet twice, most recently as Secretary of Education before her departure earlier this year. The question of a potential presidential run has followed her given her profile in both the business world through WWE and her role in the Trump administration.
