Donald Trump is tapping Cantor Fitzgerald LP chief executive officer Howard Lutnick and World Wrestling Entertainment co-founder Linda McMahon to jointly chair his presidential transition team, the campaign announced Friday.
The campaign also named the Republican nominee’s running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, and two of Trump’s sons, Eric and Donald Jr., to serve as honorary co-chairs of the transition team to prepare for a second term should the former president win in November’s election.
