President Donald Trump offered the position of White House Press Secretary to Dana White, CEO of UFC, via Truth Social on November 7, 2026. Initially, White agreed to meet with Trump but declined the job offer after a surprise press conference on Monday, November 9.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
