In recent days, there have been no major news developments specifically involving Linda McMahon in her role as Administrator of the Small Business Administration, as she is no longer serving in that position. Listeners should note that Linda McMahon led the Small Business Administration during the first term of President Donald Trump but later moved on to other roles. According to Wikipedia and AOL, after stepping down from the SBA, McMahon became the chair of a pro-Trump political action committee and later was nominated and confirmed as the United States Secretary of Education in the second Trump administration.

Significant headlines this week have focused on McMahon’s actions in her current role shaping education policy rather than matters related to the Small Business Administration. Recent reports from The Bradenton Times highlight that in May, as Secretary of Education, McMahon made it easier for universities to switch accrediting bodies, which has added a new layer of controversy and politicization to the college accreditation process. According to the Wikipedia entry on education policy, the Trump administration and McMahon have further sought to dismantle the Department of Education, including broad layoffs, restructuring, and transferring student loan management to the Small Business Administration. Viewpoints with Kerby Anderson notes that President Trump signed an executive order directing McMahon to begin winding down the Department of Education, with swift action to shrink staff and shift core federal programs elsewhere—including student loans, which under this plan would be managed by the Small Business Administration or other federal agencies. The administration is currently in legal battles and facing court injunctions over some of these moves.

There has been no official update in the past few days on McMahon revisiting her prior SBA work or leading new initiatives at the Small Business Administration. News outlets such as AOL and the Wall Street Journal have referenced her time running the SBA, focusing on her broader role as a business leader and policy influencer, but these stories are largely retrospective rather than covering breaking SBA news.

To summarize for listeners, all notable activity around Linda McMahon at this moment pertains to her high-profile efforts in education policy rather than the Small Business Administration. Her impact on the SBA continues to be discussed in the context of possible reorganization of federal government responsibilities, but there have been no new official decisions from her about the SBA itself this week.

Linda McMahon, who served as Administrator of the Small Business Administration during the first Trump term, has not recently made headlines in that specific role, as she is currently serving as the United States Secretary of Education under President Donald Trump’s second administration according to information from Wikipedia. In this new cabinet post, McMahon has become a central figure in the most dramatic upheaval in federal education policy in decades.

According to the Wikipedia entry for education policy in the second Trump administration, President Trump and Linda McMahon have been working together to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. On March third of this year, the Senate confirmed McMahon as Secretary of Education. Soon after, President Trump signed an executive order giving her the mandate to facilitate the closure of the department and return much of the authority over education to state and local governments. Trump and McMahon have argued that federal management is unnecessary and have taken concrete steps such as instituting mass layoffs and offering incentives for staff to resign. Reductions have targeted offices handling student financial aid, civil rights, and various oversight functions.

One of the most striking changes announced by President Trump is the transfer of student loan management from the Department of Education to the Small Business Administration. This move marks a major reworking of how federal student loans are administered. Reporting from VCY.org confirms that the decision to end many smaller programs in the department and drastically reduce staff is already underway. McMahon has publicly stated her belief that the Department of Education is unnecessary and stood behind the policy of handing control over education decisions to states, communities, and even parents through expanded school choice measures.

As Secretary of Education—not as SBA administrator—McMahon also made it easier in May for universities to switch accreditors, according to The Bradenton Times. This reform is part of the wider strategy by the administration to challenge traditional higher education norms and decentralize federal control over schools and universities.

While Linda McMahon’s current headlines relate directly to her leadership at the Department of Education, it is worth noting that her previous tenure as SBA administrator saw her champion programs to boost small business access to capital, disaster aid, and development services nationwide. However, as of today, no significant recent news events or policy actions are being reported about McMahon’s role within the Small Business Administration, reflecting her full attention on her historic and controversial efforts at Education.

Linda McMahon, famously known for her role in founding World Wrestling Entertainment, has not served as Administrator of the US Small Business Administration since early 2019. According to updates found in Paul Hastings’ financial regulation report and on ASBN, Kelly Loeffler became the Administrator of the Small Business Administration in February 2025, replacing previous leadership. There have been no major headlines or decisions attributed to Linda McMahon in connection with the SBA in recent days. All current news and announcements about the SBA revolve around Kelly Loeffler, especially regarding recent moves to clear a backlog of two thousand seven hundred veteran small business certification cases and restore support for veteran-owned businesses just ahead of Veterans Day. Much of the focus has been on the restoration of funding and staffing for these programs, as well as criticism of previous administrative priorities for disadvantaging veterans.

Recent media coverage from CBS News Pittsburgh did mention Linda McMahon in the context of a tour she made to small businesses during her prior tenure as SBA Administrator under President Trump, including a visit to Economy Borough in Pennsylvania to discuss resources for entrepreneurs. However, these events are from several years ago and not part of current news cycles. Other headlines place Linda McMahon in her more recent appointment; she is now serving as Secretary of Education, according to the same Paul Hastings regulatory update from November twelve, twenty twenty five. In this capacity, McMahon appears in education-related news, including discussing the implications of the recent government shutdown for the Department of Education.

Listeners should be aware that any new SBA news or initiatives are being led by Kelly Loeffler, not Linda McMahon. For current updates specific to Linda McMahon, attention should be shifted to federal education policy and her role in the Department of Education. With the government reopening after the shutdown, McMahon has surfaced in debates over whether her department should even exist, reflecting continuing controversy and discussion over federal government roles and agency mandates.

Listeners, there has been significant change at the U.S. Small Business Administration over the past year. Linda McMahon, who once served as Administrator, is not currently holding that position. According to the latest updates from Paul Hastings, Kelly Loeffler was appointed as the new Administrator of the Small Business Administration, effective February nineteenth, twenty twenty-five. Linda McMahon has instead taken on the role of Secretary of Education for the Department of Education, effective March third, twenty twenty-five. There has been no recent major news story involving Linda McMahon in any capacity with the Small Business Administration in the last several days.

With Kelly Loeffler now leading the Small Business Administration, news outlets such as the Atlanta Small Business Network report a restoration of crucial support for veteran-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. The agency, under Loeffler’s leadership, cleared a backlog of more than twenty-seven hundred applications for the Veteran Small Business Certification process, also known as VetCert. This action reversed mounting delays that had left many veterans unable to compete for federal contracts. Processing times have sharply dropped, now averaging twelve days compared to eighty-one days at the end of last year. Loeffler credited the improvement to restoring funding and staff dedicated to this program, fulfilling the agency’s promise to provide veterans with a responsive pathway to federal opportunities.

Meanwhile, Linda McMahon’s tenure at the Department of Education has sparked headlines for her remarks following the federal government shutdown. Outlets like AOL News report that on Wednesday she argued the shutdown proved that the Department of Education is unnecessary and suggested that the department could be eliminated altogether. This position echoes longstanding debates within federal policy circles about the structure and role of education at the national level.

To recap, Linda McMahon has not made recent decisions involving the Small Business Administration and now serves as Secretary of Education. The most current developments at the SBA center around Administrator Kelly Loeffler, who announced decisive progress for veteran-owned businesses and the federal contracting process as the nation prepared to honor Veterans Day. Listeners following small business and federal leadership changes should be aware of this updated information.

Recent days have brought significant attention to the role and actions of the Administrator of the Small Business Administration. It is important to clarify for listeners that Linda McMahon is not currently serving as the Administrator of the Small Business Administration. As reported by Paul Hastings, Kelly Loeffler has held the position since February 2025. Linda McMahon transitioned to become the Secretary of Education in March 2025.

While listeners may remember Linda McMahon for her earlier tenure at the SBA, current headlines focus on actions undertaken by Kelly Loeffler as Administrator and key policy decisions impacting America's small businesses amid the historic federal government shutdown. The shutdown has resulted in major disruptions for small businesses according to The Daily Herald and AOL, with reports of decreased revenue, widespread layoffs, and difficulties accessing federal assistance programs. The SBA has worked to maintain support channels, announcing on November 6th that applications for disaster loans remain available online through the MySBA Loan Portal and disaster customer service phone lines, as highlighted in the Federal Register.

A major development involves the Treasury Department's announcement of a sweeping, department-wide review of preference-based contracting programs, including those administered under the SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program. Several multimillion-dollar task orders were terminated over allegations of misuse, leading Treasury to order audits totaling nine billion dollars in contract awards. This signals greater scrutiny over small-business set-aside awards and the relationships between small businesses and larger contractors, as noted by Sidley. Both large and small contractors are advised to review their compliance and subcontracting practices to avoid enforcement actions.

Changes brought by emergency government directives have also affected food assistance programs closely linked with SBA support for small grocers and suppliers. As the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to block orders requiring full November payments for SNAP benefits, federal courts weighed the harm caused to millions of Americans—and many state officials have called the reversal of benefit issuances nearly impossible and potentially illegal. Stakeholders argue the shutdown’s effects highlight critical gaps in federal support systems relied upon by millions of workers, entrepreneurs, and families.

For listeners specifically interested in Linda McMahon, she has recently made headlines as Secretary of Education, declaring in November that the ongoing shutdown proves the Department of Education is unnecessary, sparking debate about agency consolidation and education priorities according to The Center Square and AOL.

There have been no recent headlines or official news stories about Linda McMahon serving as the Administrator of the Small Business Administration within the past several days. Based on current coverage and public information, Linda McMahon has not held the role of Administrator at the Small Business Administration in 2025, nor are there records indicating she was involved in any recent policy decisions, media appearances, or major federal actions in this capacity.

Listeners may recall that Linda McMahon was appointed Administrator of the U S Small Business Administration by President Donald Trump in early 2017, serving until her resignation in April 2019. Since then, she has been primarily involved with America First Action, a major pro Trump super PAC, and has not returned to a government post or had involvement in Small Business Administration matters in the Biden or second Trump administrations.

Recent developments from the Small Business Administration center around other officials and ongoing impacts from the record federal government shutdown. Current coverage, such as CBS Pittsburgh and multiple business news outlets, has not referenced Linda McMahon in recent Small Business Administration activity or announcements. Instead, the acting administrator and related agency leadership appear in public statements about the effects of the shutdown and funding challenges impacting small business access to government-backed capital and disaster relief loans.

The main spotlight for the Small Business Administration has been the wider impact of the federal shutdown on small business operations. Many business owners report struggles to receive needed assistance and financing as federal offices go through closures or reduced staffing. Advocates and business groups are calling for urgent Congressional action to resolve the budget gridlock, but there is no mention of Linda McMahon or any actions taken by her in an official capacity at the agency.

SBA Administrator Linda McMahon has remained a visible public figure recently as the federal government shutdown continued to disrupt small business operations across the United States. According to CBS Pittsburgh, Linda McMahon visited Western Pennsylvania in early November 2025, making several stops to meet with local entrepreneurs and promote available resources designed to support small businesses during this turbulent period. She emphasized the urgent need for stability and outlined efforts by her office to streamline access to loans and emergency assistance. In her remarks, McMahon acknowledged that prolonged shutdown conditions have caused increased anxiety among small business owners, citing delays in loans and grant processing as primary concerns.

McMahon has repeatedly called on lawmakers to reach a funding agreement, warning that without a functioning Small Business Administration, many entrepreneurs face severe cash flow challenges. According to KDKA, her team has issued new guidance to expedite approvals for Paycheck Protection Program loans and disaster relief funds, though she admitted that some relief programs remain at risk due to budget constraints. She encouraged small business owners to remain in close contact with local SBA offices for updates, and highlighted a commitment to keeping communications open despite limited agency resources and staffing during the shutdown.

Prominent business advocacy groups have responded positively to McMahon’s outreach, with the National Federation of Independent Business noting that her presence in hard-hit regions has provided much-needed reassurance to owners struggling with lost revenue and employee layoffs. However, a number of business leaders urged quicker resolution of the shutdown, pointing out that even expedited SBA assistance cannot fully offset the effects of missing government contracts and delayed federal payments.

Additionally, Linda McMahon issued a statement late last week addressing concerns over veteran-owned businesses. She stressed that the SBA is prioritizing applications from veterans, women, and minority business owners, and reaffirmed ongoing partnerships with private lenders willing to extend credit through the crisis. Meanwhile, bipartisan calls have increased for Congress to grant the SBA temporary discretionary authority to redirect available funds to the most critical needs.

As the situation evolves, Linda McMahon has remained committed to advocating for Main Street and job creators, focusing on transparency and accountability in all SBA actions. SBA regional offices continue to update local entrepreneurs with information on evolving eligibility criteria and changes to COVID era debt relief programs.

Listeners, there have been recent and significant developments regarding the leadership of the Small Business Administration. Linda McMahon is no longer serving as Administrator of the SBA. According to Paul Hastings, Kelly Loeffler became the new Administrator on February nineteenth, twenty twenty-five, while Linda McMahon accepted the role of Education Secretary effective March third, twenty twenty-five. This marks a major administrative transition, with McMahon now overseeing education policy and no recent headlines linking her to SBA decisions during the past few days.

Small business owners should be aware that the SBA, under current leadership, has announced over six billion dollars in disaster recovery funding for fiscal year twenty twenty-five. This support targets communities affected by wildfires, storms, and other major disasters, and aims to expedite loan approvals and disaster assistance. The current SBA team, led by Kelly Loeffler, is responding to disasters such as recent storms in Alaska by streamlining loan processes and tackling obstacles to recovery, including slow local permitting and previous issues with disaster relief funds. Disaster loan management, improved fraud protection, and expanding relief to new regions have been public priorities for the agency, but these initiatives have not been connected to Linda McMahon in any recent news.

Listeners may note that major SBA events, such as National Veterans Small Business Week, have been affected by the ongoing federal government shutdown. National Veterans Small Business Week was canceled, and state agencies have stepped in to support veteran entrepreneurs during this period. These changes are being managed by the current SBA administration, not Linda McMahon.

Separately, recent news has focused on President Trump’s proposal to transfer management of the federal student loan program from the Department of Education to the SBA. This plan involves the closure of several functions within the Education Department, which Linda McMahon now leads. A federal judge blocked this proposed transfer in May twenty twenty-five, so the situation remains unresolved and has created uncertainty for student loan borrowers. If reversed, the SBA would inherit a complex and vastly larger loan portfolio, which many experts say would be a major operational challenge requiring significant infrastructure changes and staffing, especially after deep cuts to SBA staff. Some experts have raised concerns about the risk of servicing errors, longer processing times, and privacy issues for borrowers if the transition proceeds. As of this week, however, the transfer is still on hold and Linda McMahon’s current role is entirely within the Education Department, not the SBA.

In the most recent news, listeners will want to note that Linda McMahon is no longer serving as the Administrator of the Small Business Administration. According to recent regulatory updates from Paul Hastings, Kelly Loeffler took over as head of the Small Business Administration effective February nineteenth, twenty twenty-five. Linda McMahon transitioned to a new federal leadership role as Secretary of Education beginning March third, twenty twenty-five.

For listeners searching for current developments or decisions at the Small Business Administration under Linda McMahon, no new stories or major policy actions have been associated with her in this post as she is no longer in that role. Since her appointment as Education Secretary, national coverage has shifted away from associating McMahon with small business policy and toward education affairs. Instead, recent headlines naming the Small Business Administration have highlighted the agency’s ongoing disaster recovery efforts, particularly under the leadership of Loeffler. For instance, the agency announced more than six billion dollars in support for disaster recovery in fiscal year twenty twenty-five, including rapid response loans to communities affected by storms and wildfires. These initiatives and decisions have been credited to Kelly Loeffler and not Linda McMahon.

Listeners may still recall Linda McMahon’s previous term at the SBA from earlier years, but as of November twenty twenty-five, there are no new decisions, events, or initiatives linked to her tenure in that position according to regulatory bulletins, business journals, and national news outlets. Headlines referencing Linda McMahon in current news often focus either on her new cabinet post or retrospective mentions of her prior leadership at the Small Business Administration, but not on any current actions at the agency.

Linda McMahon, who served as Administrator of the Small Business Administration from 2017 to 2019, has not held this position in recent years. Her tenure, which began after her confirmation by the Senate in February 2017, was notable for her cross-country travels to meet with small business owners and her support for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which aimed to improve conditions for entrepreneurs and small enterprises in the United States. The Washington Post reported that during her leadership, the Small Business Administration modernized its disaster recovery apparatus, including a rapid expansion of call center staffing to better serve businesses hit by emergencies such as Hurricane Harvey. McMahon also promoted consolidating duplicative programs within the agency as she responded to budget reductions.

However, since stepping down from the SBA in April 2019, Linda McMahon has moved on to other high-profile roles. Most recently, she was confirmed as Secretary of Education in March 2025 after being nominated by President Donald Trump, following her involvement as a founder and chairperson with the America First Policy Institute. In her new capacity at the Department of Education, she has already gained national attention. For example, a coalition of senators, led by Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, recently criticized McMahon and the Trump administration for attempts to shift enforcement responsibilities for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act from the Department of Education to another federal agency. The senators argued that this move would undermine important protections for students with disabilities, cautioning against disrupting established rights and support systems.

Additionally, several states, including Connecticut, have filed lawsuits naming Linda McMahon in her capacity as Education Secretary in response to new federal rules that could restrict nonprofit and government worker access to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. This legal action comes after the Trump administration changed eligibility rules particularly targeting employees of nonprofits described as having a so called substantial illegal purpose, including those offering certain medical treatments or providing immigration-related services. Political leaders have expressed concern that such measures would make it harder for essential workers—like teachers and social workers—to qualify for loan relief.

As Linda McMahon’s current role is with the Department of Education, there have been no new decisions or headlines related to her tenure as Small Business Administration leader in the last few days. Most recent small business–related news from the Small Business Administration has featured Kelly Loeffler, not McMahon. Efforts to attribute any current SBA decisions to McMahon are likely based on outdated information.

The Small Business Administration faces significant operational challenges as the federal government shutdown continues into November. SBA Chief Kelly Loeffler announced the cancellation of the twelfth annual National Veterans Small Business Week, which was scheduled to run this week. The agency cited frozen services and suspended operations due to the ongoing shutdown that began on October first.

The cancellation affects more than one point six million veteran owned small businesses across the country. The week was designed to highlight veteran owned American made enterprises and their substantial contribution to the economy, which exceeds one trillion dollars annually. In person and virtual training sessions, capital access workshops, and government contracting resources have all been suspended during this period.

Loeffler attributed the shutdown's impact directly to Senate Democrats, stating they have blocked government funding bills more than thirteen times since the shutdown began. She emphasized that the shutdown has frozen the majority of SBA services, including small business lending programs and public events. The administrator noted that Democrats continue to block pay for more than one million active duty military members, while the Trump administration pursues every available option to support the military during the shutdown.

The cancellation underscores how widely the shutdown has disrupted services and opportunities for those who have already sacrificed significantly through military service. This represents a notable setback for small business support infrastructure at a critical time when businesses need access to lending programs and resources.

Meanwhile, the Department of Education, which oversees related economic policy areas, faces its own legal challenges. Connecticut joined twenty states in filing a federal lawsuit against Education Secretary Linda McMahon regarding new rules that could block nonprofit and government employees from student loan forgiveness programs. The rule, released on October thirty first, targets nonprofits considered to have substantial illegal purposes, including those aiding violations of federal immigration laws.

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, created in two thousand seven, was designed to attract talented individuals to public service roles by forgiving student loans after ten years of employment and one hundred twenty monthly payments. The new restrictions threaten to reshape eligibility for public school teachers, social workers, emergency management workers, health care workers, and nonprofit employees.

These developments highlight ongoing tensions between the Trump administration's policy agenda and state and federal efforts to maintain existing social programs and support systems for both small business owners and public service employees.

Linda McMahon, who previously served as the Administrator of the US Small Business Administration from 2017 to 2019, has not held that office for several years. Listeners looking for the most recent updates on her leadership or major decisions as SBA Administrator should note that as of early November 2025, she is the United States Secretary of Education, a position she assumed in March 2025 according to CBS News and other national sources. Her time leading the SBA was marked by extensive outreach to small businesses across the country, with visits to dozens of cities to discuss capital, counseling, contracts, and disaster relief. During her tenure, McMahon supported the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and oversaw improvements to the SBA’s emergency call centers after Hurricane Harvey, hiring extra staff and modernizing digital services. She advocated for business growth strategies, emphasizing development, pitching, and adapting to new markets. McMahon also streamlined the agency by merging duplicate programs and proposed future restructuring to operate more efficiently, as explained during her interview with CNBC in 2017. She left the SBA in April 2019 to support President Trump’s reelection efforts.

Since then, McMahon has taken high-profile roles outside the realm of small business. In 2021, she became founding chairwoman of the America First Policy Institute. Most recently, McMahon gained national attention following her nomination and confirmation as Secretary of Education in 2025. In her current leadership, she is involved in oversight of the America 250 Civics Education Coalition and has publicly supported initiatives focused on school choice and charter schools. Her office has recently dealt with ethics waivers related to prior affiliations.

Listeners seeking current news about the SBA will find that McMahon is no longer making decisions for the agency.

Linda McMahon, who listeners may remember as the twenty fifth administrator of the Small Business Administration, held this office from 2017 until April 2019. During her tenure she became notable for touring sixty eight cities to meet with small business owners and for advocating workplace policies and reforms supporting entrepreneurship. According to the Washington Post, one focus of her administration was upgrading the Small Business Administration’s emergency call centers after Hurricane Harvey. She hired three thousand new staff to ensure the agency’s responsiveness in disaster relief situations and also modernized its digital presence to help entrepreneurs access capital, counseling, and government contracts more effectively. McMahon stated during a CNBC interview in June 2017 that one of her priorities was helping businesses learn to pitch ideas to investors and access new markets, while seeking more efficiency within the agency by merging duplicative programs.

Her time at the Small Business Administration saw her actively supporting the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and looking for ways to counter a five percent agency budget cut through restructuring. In March 2019 McMahon announced her decision to step down and take a leading role in Donald Trump’s re-election campaign. She subsequently became the founding chairwoman of the America First Policy Institute and played a significant part in the fundraising activities that supported Trump’s presidential campaign efforts.

While McMahon no longer holds the position of administrator of the Small Business Administration, her impact on small business policy continues to be referenced in current political discussions, especially as she now serves as the United States Secretary of Education in President Trump’s second administration confirmed in March 2025. There are no major news reports in recent days concerning her actions specifically as SBA administrator, as she left the post six years ago. However, media outlets such as CBS News and Education Week highlight her ongoing influence in policy circles and her recent involvement in civics education coalitions.

Listeners interested in developments concerning Linda McMahon’s current government activities may want to focus on her role as Secretary of Education and her policy positions around charter schools and educational reform, rather than her legacy at the Small Business Administration which has not had major headlines or decision announcements in the last few days.

Linda McMahon, the current Secretary of Education, has been at the center of significant developments this week as the federal government faces a shutdown. McMahon, who previously served as the Small Business Administration head and is a WWE co-founder, continues to play a prominent role in the Trump administration's efforts to reshape federal agencies.

According to recent reporting, McMahon visited Western Pennsylvania on Wednesday to tour Professional Graphic Communications and discuss assistance available to small businesses in the area. This visit underscores her continued focus on supporting Main Street America even as broader government operations face disruption.

The government shutdown has created notable tensions surrounding McMahon's department. Democratic senators including Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto sent a letter to McMahon demanding that the Department of Homeland Security cease aggressive immigration enforcement activities within one thousand feet of school properties. The senators pointed to an October incident where a federal agent deployed tear gas less than seven hundred feet from an Illinois elementary school during lunch hour, forcing the school to move recess and activities indoors. The senators called on McMahon to hold DHS accountable for these actions.

More significantly, McMahon has become a focal point in discussions about the future structure of federal education. Draft executive orders indicate she has been directed to prepare for the potential dismantling of the Education Department itself, with language stating that the federal bureaucratic hold on education must end. Legal challenges have emerged regarding these efforts. A federal judge in Massachusetts blocked the Trump administration from laying off more than thirteen hundred employees at the Department of Education, though the administration has asked the Supreme Court to allow these layoffs to proceed. The Department of Education has warned that nearly ten million borrowers could default within months if these disruptions continue.

McMahon has also faced pushback from education sector groups. Teacher preparation programs have sued to restore federal grant funding they say was terminated, claiming these cuts harm their ability to prepare aspiring teachers. Additionally, the nation's largest teachers union has sued the Education Department over guidance seeking to end diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives in schools.

Throughout these developments, McMahon has remained a central figure in the administration's push to reduce federal bureaucracy, though her tenure has drawn substantial opposition from education advocates and Democratic lawmakers concerned about the impacts on students and schools.

In the most recent developments, Linda McMahon, who formerly served as Administrator of the Small Business Administration, is now making headlines as the Secretary of Education, a position she has held since March of this year according to the latest federal appointments from Paul Hastings. While Linda McMahon’s time as the head of the Small Business Administration drew national attention, her current focus has notably shifted to the Department of Education. Her transition reflects broader political debates regarding the structure and future of federal education policy.

Recent coverage from Education Week noted that Linda McMahon’s move into federal education leadership arrives during a period of significant upheaval. Federal courts have recently intervened to block proposed layoffs at the Department of Education that would have impacted over one thousand employees, a move associated with the Trump administration’s push to scale back or potentially eliminate the department itself. CBS News highlights that nearly ten million borrowers could face loan default if abrupt staffing changes disrupt normal operations and that the department is under scrutiny for its handling of both staff and student protections during ongoing government shutdowns.

At the intersection of policy and politics, there has been public debate about whether the shutdown underscores arguments to dismantle or downsize the Department of Education. The Center Square reports that a growing number of voices, including Linda McMahon herself, suggest the government shutdown demonstrates the potential for state and local governments to oversee education policy without heavy federal involvement. According to Fox Business, the shutdown’s impact on small businesses has reignited conversations on the ripple effects federal bureaucracy can have—not only on education but on Main Street America as a whole.

Additionally, Linda McMahon has been engaged in congressional discussions around school safety and immigration enforcement. U.S. Senators recently issued a letter addressed to Secretary McMahon, urging her to take action to prevent aggressive law enforcement activities near schools. Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto led the call for her to hold the Department of Homeland Security accountable, emphasizing the importance of safe environments for all students, particularly during policy changes and civil unrest.

These current events underscore the complexity faced by Linda McMahon in managing both the legacy of her previous service at the Small Business Administration and the challenging political landscape within the U.S. educational system.

Linda McMahon, co-founder of World Wrestling Entertainment and former Administrator of the Small Business Administration, is currently serving as the United States Secretary of Education under President Donald Trump’s second administration, having been confirmed by the Senate on March 3, 2025. Recent news does not indicate that Linda McMahon is presently leading the Small Business Administration, as that role now belongs to Kelly Loeffler, who took office in February 2025.

During her tenure at the Small Business Administration, Linda McMahon was known for actively promoting small business growth and access to federal programs. However, those accomplishments are now history, as focus has shifted to the current economic landscape and government actions affecting small businesses. For instance, Kelly Loeffler, now Administrator of the SBA, has been prominently featured in recent news coverage regarding the impacts of the prolonged government shutdown on small business owners. Reports from Fox Business and the Washington Examiner detail how Loeffler addressed the press about halted loan guarantee programs and stopped federal contracts, citing that every day of the shutdown nearly 320 small businesses are unable to access vital funding, totaling up to 170 million dollars daily. After twenty-seven days, this interruption has prevented upwards of 6,000 loans representing about 4 billion dollars in Main Street lending from reaching entrepreneurs. Loeffler has tied this crisis explicitly to ongoing political conflicts over federal spending priorities, focusing on the adverse outcomes for small town storefronts and community manufacturers.

Meanwhile, politicians in Congress are debating legislative responses. Representative Suhas Subramanyam introduced the Keep Main Street Open Act, which seeks to offer favorable loans to small businesses during disruptions caused by shutdowns, recognizing that independent ventures cannot survive long periods of lost revenue without meaningful intervention.

Linda McMahon occasionally appears in retrospective stories highlighting her achievements as SBA administrator, but major headlines and consequential decisions regarding the SBA are now attributed to Kelly Loeffler, who has positioned herself as a champion for small businesses in face of the current shutdown. As this situation unfolds, observers continue to look for bipartisan solutions while recognizing the lasting influence past administrators like McMahon have had in shaping the agency’s mission and public image.

Kelly Loeffler is currently serving as Administrator of the Small Business Administration, not Linda McMahon. This appears to be a case of mistaken identity in the query, as Linda McMahon actually serves as Secretary of Education in the Trump administration.

As of late October 2025, Kelly Loeffler has been at the center of heated political debate surrounding the ongoing government shutdown, which has now entered its fifth week. During a press briefing on Monday, October 28th, Loeffler outlined the severe impacts the shutdown is having on small businesses across America.

According to Forbes Breaking News, Loeffler detailed how the shutdown has halted the Small Business Administration's loan guarantee programs, effectively choking off capital to Main Street businesses. She revealed that every single day of the shutdown prevents 320 local businesses from accessing 170 million dollars in SBA loans needed for hiring and expansion. The math is staggering, with 6,000 small business loans totaling upwards of 4 billion dollars now blocked due to the political standoff.

Loeffler has been particularly vocal in blaming Senate Democrats for the impasse, claiming they are demanding 1.5 trillion dollars in taxpayer money to fund healthcare for illegal aliens and other liberal causes. She told Kudlow on Fox Business that Democrats are having a disgraceful moment and that the shutdown is having their intended effect of hurting Main Street.

The context makes the situation even more striking. Just before the shutdown began, Loeffler had been celebrating historic achievements. The SBA broke a 72 year lending record in fiscal 2025, surpassing 45 billion dollars in loans to 85,000 small businesses. She noted that small business confidence had hit a seven year high in September, the highest since President Trump's first term.

The shutdown has also affected thousands of small businesses that rely on federal contracts, which have received stop work orders. Loeffler connected this to broader economic pain, noting that storefronts are cutting back hours, manufacturers are shelving expansion plans, and generational businesses are closing their doors for good.

Linda McMahon, previously recognized for her role as Administrator of the Small Business Administration during President Trump’s first term, is not currently in that position. After serving as SBA head and later as chair at the America First Policy Institute, she stepped into a new federal leadership role in 2025. According to widely reported government records, Linda McMahon is now the United States Secretary of Education under President Trump’s second administration. She was confirmed by the Senate in March 2025, following Trump’s public endorsement of her efforts to advocate for parents’ rights and her focus on major decentralization of federal education oversight.

One of the most impactful decisions in recent weeks centers on McMahon’s mandate to facilitate the closure of the U.S. Department of Education. President Trump signed an executive order in March directing McMahon to “put herself out of a job” and enable states and local communities to regain authority over education. As part of the administration’s plan, Trump announced that responsibilities such as federal student loans would transfer to the Small Business Administration, while special needs and nutrition programs would shift to the Department of Health and Human Services. Federal mass layoffs were also initiated throughout the Education Department, particularly within the Federal Student Aid office, which oversees loan disbursement and default collections. Court challenges already blocked these layoffs in late May, as the closure of a federal department requires Congressional approval and faces legal hurdles.

While Linda McMahon’s direct involvement in SBA decisions has concluded, the agency itself has nonetheless made recent headlines. At the urging of the current SBA Administrator, Kelly Loeffler, the agency recently extended disaster loan payment terms for Los Angeles County wildfire survivors. This urgent extension comes amid severe permitting delays at the local level, which have hindered the disbursement of more than twelve thousand approved SBA loans for rebuilding efforts after the January 2025 fires. As reported by Citadirecta, only about twenty-two percent of loan funds have reached affected businesses and homeowners, revealing ongoing challenges for small businesses in navigating bureaucratic obstacles.

House committees continue to introduce bills with potential impact on SBA oversight. Recent legislation up for review includes measures to boost loan limits for small manufacturers, clarify roles within the Office of Rural Affairs, modernize SBA information technology, and extend fraud statute limitations for pandemic programs. The effectiveness of these bills, however, relies on cooperation between federal, state, and local officials as recovery efforts progress.

There has been no major news this week about Linda McMahon in her capacity as Administrator of the Small Business Administration, because she no longer holds that position. Linda McMahon now serves as the United States Secretary of Education, a role she assumed in March of this year after being nominated and confirmed following President Trump’s return to office for his second term. McMahon’s tenure as Administrator of the Small Business Administration took place during Trump’s first term, but recent headlines indicate her current focus is leading the Department of Education.

According to recent coverage by Wikipedia and news outlets, Linda McMahon has taken center stage with the Trump administration’s ambitious plan to dismantle the Department of Education. In March, President Trump signed an executive order instructing McMahon to begin facilitating the closure of the department. The stated objective is to return education authority to the states and local communities, a move cheered by some conservative groups and fiercely contested by others. McMahon has publicly commented that the department is not needed, further emphasizing her commitment to the administration’s agenda on shifting federal responsibilities. While the process requires congressional action and faces major legislative hurdles, McMahon’s immediate impact includes proposing large-scale reductions in department workforce, targeting federal student aid offices, and reducing the oversight capabilities of the Office for Civil Rights.

In her education post, McMahon has also played a role in the administration’s crackdown on universities accused of antisemitism or left-wing bias. For example, the administration recently paused hundreds of millions in federal funding to Columbia and Harvard, with McMahon involved in the negotiation of strict new standards universities must meet to unlock those funds. Some university leaders have accused the administration of overreach, resulting in a lawsuit from Harvard and a subsequent court ruling stating that the government had infringed free speech rights and used antisemitism as a political tool.

For listeners looking for information about the SBA’s recent disaster relief and business support efforts, the agency is currently led by Kelly Loeffler, not Linda McMahon. The SBA continues to extend disaster loan payment terms for survivors of events such as the January wildfires in Los Angeles County, with recent administrative action allowing an extra twelve months for loan disbursement due to local government permitting delays. Kelly Loeffler, the current Administrator, has commented that the Trump administration is focused on accelerating relief distribution and supporting the economic recovery of the hardest-hit regions.
