Former President Donald Trump announced that he had extended an offer to UFC chief executive Dana White for the position of White House press secretary. The proposal was disclosed during a recent interview, and White confirmed he intends to discuss the opportunity with Trump on Monday.
Trump, who left office in January 2021, said he believes White’s “straight‑talking style” would be a good fit for the communications role in the administration. He did not specify a timeline for the appointment or detail any formal selection process.
White, who has led the mixed‑martial‑arts promotion since 2001, responded that he will meet with the former president to learn more about the job and consider the offer. He did not provide a definitive answer on whether he will accept the role.
The potential appointment would mark an unusual crossover between the world of professional sports entertainment and the political sphere, a move that has drawn interest from both media outlets and political observers.
