+++ US-Midterms +++: US-Repräsentantenhaus lehnt Amtsenthebungsverfahren gegen Hegseth ab

The Republican candidate Dana White, known for his involvement in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), was approached by U.S. President Donald Trump to serve as the new spokesperson for the White House. However, White firmly declined the offer, stating, "No, no. I do not want to enter politics." Earlier during a press conference, White had made it clear that he had "no political ambitions."

Trump's announcement that he would like to appoint White as the new White House spokesperson was later revealed to be a "joke," according to sources close to the U.S. President. White, who apparently came up with the idea himself, planned to visit the White House on Monday for reasons other than the spokesperson position, as stated by Trump during a press conference.
