Dana White could reportedly be part of Donald Trump’s candidate after the 78-year-old won the US presidential election.
Trump managed to beat Kamala Harris to return to the White House, four years after he missed out on a second term following a defeat to Joe Biden.
On Wednesday, Trump declared victory early – with White giving a passionate speech about his close friend.
“Nobody deserves this more than him and nobody deserves this more than his family does,” said White, who is currently the president of UFC.

“This is what happens when the machine comes after you, what you’ve seen over the last several years, this is what it looks like.
“Couldn’t stop him, he keeps going forward, he doesn’t quit, he’s the most resilient, hardworking man I’ve ever met in my life, his family are incredible people.
“This is karma, ladies and gentlemen, he deserves this, they deserve this as a family.”
Now, according to the Daily Mail, there’s a possibility that White will be given a role in Trump’s administration.

The role of press secretary has been mooted – with many users online also backing White to be given a role.
The report says Trump’s sons, Eric Trump and Don Jr, was ‘playing a significant role’ when it comes to the 78-year-old deciding his second cabinet.
White has previously said that he’s ‘not a political person’.
He makes an exception when it comes to Trump, however, with the pair close friends for the best part of two decades.
In 2020, White said: “This guy has been such a good friend to me.
“He’s unbelievable. He’s awesome. I love the guy. I’d do anything for him.:
That same year, White said he couldn’t care less whether the UFC loses fans due to his good friendship with Trump.
“I couldn’t give a s**t [about losing fans over my friendship with Donald Trump],” he continued.

“This was a movement like nobody’s ever seen before, and frankly, this was, I believe, the greatest political movement of all time,” he said.
“There’s never been anything like this in this country and maybe beyond, and now it’s going to reach a new level of importance because we’re going to help our country heal.”
