President Donald Trump offered UFC president and chief executive officer Dana White the job of White House press secretary on Saturday, according to a report from CNBC.
Trump, who served as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, made the proposal directly to White, the longtime head of the mixed‑martial‑arts promotion.
White, who has overseen the growth of the UFC into a global sports brand, has not publicly commented on the offer, and no official response from the former president’s office has been released.
The press secretary role traditionally serves as the administration’s primary spokesperson to the media, handling daily briefings and communicating the president’s policies.
At this time, it remains unclear whether White will consider the position or if Trump will pursue another candidate for the post.
