McMahon previously served as the administrator of the Small Business Administration from 2017 to 2019. She is currently the board chair of the America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump think tank. Before her political career, McMahon was the CEO of WWE, helping it grow into a major media company. She has also run for the U.S. Senate in Connecticut twice but was unsuccessful.
