At a 9 November White House briefing, the fight executive said he did not want to enter politics. Trump had not named a new press secretary.
US President Donald Trump said he had been “sort of kidding” about making Dana White his press secretary when the two appeared together at a White House briefing on 9 November. White, the CEO of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), said he did not want to be in politics.
The position has been vacant since Katie Zacharia left in October after a brief tenure. Trump had not named a replacement as of the briefing.
On 7 November, Trump wrote on social media that he had offered White the job and urged him to take it. White, a longtime friend and supporter of Trump, said he would meet the president but did not then say whether he would take the position.
At the briefing, Trump asked White again whether he wanted the job, Deadline wrote. White thanked him for the offer and said he did not want to enter politics. White also said he had never explicitly told Trump “no” about the position.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin says Democrats contacted him about immigration legislation and Trump encouraged him to work with them. He says he and Trump have not discussed changing enforcement policy.
