Dana White declines Trump's offer to become White House press secretary: Report

President Donald Trump's offer to appoint UFC chief Dana White as White House press secretary has been declined, according to CNN. Despite Trump's public appeal, describing White as a "violent Fighter and Warrior" on his Truth Social platform, White has turned down the offer. The offer also included six UFC fighters as assistants, who Trump suggested would help defend his administration against political opponents.

White, who is a close friend of Trump, declined the position, stating he already has a lot of jobs in the fighting industry. The White House has been without a permanent press secretary since Karoline Leavitt left the role in August, and Katie Zacharia lasted only five days before an uncomfortable appearance before reporters. This development comes amid a period of uncertainty within Trump's administration, following major losses for Republicans in the midterm elections.
