Dana White faces an incredibly important career decision courtesy of President Donald Trump. But as he mulls over the job opportunity, the sportsbook odds tell an interesting story.
Since winning the election and being reinstated as the United States president almost two years ago, Trump has only strengthened his relationship with White. The friendship has benefited both men. The UFC managed to host a never-before-seen White House event with Trump’s support, and in turn, Dana White has praised Donald Trump every chance he gets. The public endorsement from White has aided Trump’s presidential case and strengthened his outlook with the younger demographic.
Their strong bond has long been public, but Donald Trump took it one further. Trump wants a true business partnership with White, offering him a place in the political world. Swapping his CEO role in combat sports for a place as the White House press secretary would be a significant change, and the betting markets echo that fact.
BetOnline Sports & Casino shared its odds on whether Dana White will take up the press secretary position or not. Given Trump’s public request for him to take up the offer, White has surged to near favorite for the position, though the odds are still against him.
Will Dana White accept the WHPS position by Dec. 1, 2026?
Yes +150 (3/2)
No -200 (1/2)
Dana White is among two other standouts for the position.
Anna Kelly currently holds the Principal Deputy Press Secretary role in the White House and is a strong candidate for the vacancy. Scott Jennings, a conservative commentator who made his name working for CNN, is another name hotly linked to the job.
Intrigue surrounds Dana White and his decision, but there are other candidates arguably far more suited to the role.
