U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign has said two major donors would lead a transition team formed to help vet personnel and draft policy should the former president win in November.
In a statement, Trump said Wrestling magnate Linda McMahon and Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick will serve as co-chairs, while Two of Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, along with his vice presidential running mate, Senator JD Vance, will serve as honorary chairs.
McMahon, co-founder and former CEO of the professional wrestling franchise WWE, is the chair of the America First Policy Institute, an organization that has drafted some proposed policies for a possible second Trump administration.
On his part, Lutnick is a key money-raising figure for Trump, having hosted a $15-million fundraiser for the former president in the Hamptons earlier this month.
