Dana White Rejects Politics Amid Trump Support

Dana White, the UFC CEO, has expressed a strong desire to distance himself from politics despite being a significant supporter of Donald Trump during the 2024 campaign. White, who has endorsed Trump in multiple past elections and assisted in media outreach, recently stated in interviews with the New Yorker and Sports Business Journal that he finds politics 'gross' and 'disgusting'. He confirmed he would not be pursuing any political roles or joining Trump's administration, citing his preference to remain in the 'fight business'. White's decision comes after having participated in Trump's election night celebrations and speaking at the Republican National Convention. His remarks highlight a clear boundary between his friendship with Trump and any political aspirations. This marks a notable shift as Trump prepares to begin his second term in January.
