Trump offers UFC chief Dana White White House press secretary role

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that he has offered UFC boss Dana White the position of White House press secretary.

Trump wrote that “the Great Dana White, a violent Fighter and Warrior, has been offered the job of Press Secretary of the United States” and urged White to accept the role.

The press secretary post has been vacant since mid‑October, when former incumbent Katie Zacharia left after only a few days. In his post, Trump also said he has asked White to bring several assistants to the White House, naming former UFC fighters including Islam Makhachev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Justin Gaethje, Daniel Cormier, Amanda Nunes and Kayla Harris.

Trump’s reshuffle follows heavy Republican losses in the U.S. mid‑term elections on 3 November, after which he dismissed chief of staff Susie Wiles and installed long‑time aide Stephen Miller.

The White House press secretary serves as the president’s daily spokesperson to the media.
