McMahon Family Campaign for Linda McMahon at Republican Convention

WWE CEO Vince McMahon joined his wife, Linda McMahon, at the Republican Convention in Connecticut on Friday night to support Linda with her U.S. Senate campaign. The Connecticut Mirror reports Triple H and Stephanie McMahon also joined Vince and Linda at the convention on Friday night.

The big news coming out of the convention was Linda McMahon earning the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate race in November. Shane McMahon was also at the event. He was pictured celebrating with Linda when she was nominated.

Virtually every major news publication has picked up the news, including the Associated Press reporting on McMahon's big line after receiving the nomination. "I venture to say we're going to lay the smackdown on him (Richard Blumenthal) come November," McMahon said.

McMahon still has to defeat fellow Republican Richard Simmons in an August primary. Simmons stated after Friday's convention that he intends to stay in the race and challenge McMahon for the Republican vote.

Right now, McMahon seems positioned to challenge Democratic nominee Richard Blumenthal in the general election in November.
