UFC President Dana White to meet Trump on White House press secretary offer
Record added
UFC President Dana White confirmed on November 8, 2026, he will meet with President Trump on Monday, November 9, to discuss the president's offer for him to become White House press secretary. The meeting follows public reporting of Trump's recruitment effort for the high-profile communications position.
The potential appointment would install a sports entertainment executive with no government or journalism experience in one of the most visible White House roles. White's UFC background and close personal relationship with Trump represent a departure from traditional press secretary credentials, signaling continued Trump administration preference for loyalists and media figures over conventional political communications professionals as the administration prepares for divided government.
