UFC’s Dana White says he will meet with Trump Monday over offer to be White House press secretary

White said he will meet Trump on Monday after the president publicly urged him to take the high-profile communications job.

  • On Saturday, President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that he offered the White House press secretary role to UFC CEO Dana White, who confirmed he is flying to Washington to meet with the President on Monday.
  • The administration's search for a spokesperson follows the October firing of Katie Zacharia, who lasted just five days, after Karoline Leavitt left the role in August.
  • Trump described White as a "violent Fighter and Warrior" and requested he bring UFC fighters to Washington as assistants, writing, "We need these people to defend us against the Lunatic Left."
  • White has not publicly accepted the position but admitted he has "a lot of jobs already" and is traveling to Washington for the Monday meeting with Trump.
  • Online speculation suggests Trump may have confused White with a former Pentagon spokesperson sharing the same name, while Democrats prepare to assume control of Congress next year.
