Despite his status as a political pariah and instigator four years back, Ex-Prez Donald Trump pulled off a dominant electoral victory. He got one up over VP/Democratic nominee Kamala Harris with yet another last term in the pocket. Close friend and UFC CEO Dana White was in tow with the Republican GOP nominee. Now, along with combat sports micsman Joe Rogan, he makes the odds for next Prez!
The 55-year-old attended the gala Mar-a-Lago election watch party on Tuesday. After a trio of RNC-boosting speeches (2 he didn’t even want to do), White even gave another victory speech on the podium. Not even 24 hours have passed since the 2024 presidential election. The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag have already opened the betting lines for 2028.
The UFC helmsman is listed at 1000/1 odds, the same as Hunter Biden. For reference, the favorite to win the next four in office after Trump’s second term is JD Vance at 3/1. Following with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro at 4/1. California Governor Gavin Newsome at 7/1 follows suit. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson yet again marks another quirky wishlist.

Among these, White is an unlikely prospect. But he has proven his mettle, going on sword and shield to debate mainstream media takes or otherwise in pre-election debates. A longtime friend and supporter of Trump, White will likely remain in the president’s inner circle for the next four years. However, a run for office is probably out of the question.
Dana White goes full MAGA, thanks ‘mighty and powerful Joe Rogan’ during Donald Trump’s victory speech
Trump’s victory is being hailed as one of the most remarkable comebacks in the history of American politics. After losing the 2020 presidential election, which he believed had been stolen by Joe Biden, he became the pariah of Washington until thousands of his supporters stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Concurrently, the landslide victory for the GOP Nominee and Harris’ upset is one for the books.
Influential in helping Trump win in 2024 was UFC CEO Dana White, who has been one of his biggest public supporters. Through the UFC, White gave Donald Trump a platform to appeal to young, male voters. This played a major role in his re-election. The 78-year-old often caught flak for passing his vices and indictments as wrongdoing against him instead. It was quite a rhetoric of a struggling fighter in a fighter’s world with his accord in the UFC ranks.
But nonetheless, it worked charms. White and Co. are responsible for much of the media availability attention he got. Like telling Fox News’ “Hannity” host Sean Hannity on Live tele that he is the only one suited for president. Additionally, White himself thanked a few people for it, including Joe Rogan:
Nobody deserves this more than him, and nobody deserves this more than his family does, …This is karma, ladies and gentlemen. He deserves this. They deserve it as a family…I want to thank some people. Real quick. I want to thank the NELK Boys, Adin Ross, Theo Von, Bussin’ With The Boys, and finally the mighty and powerful Joe Rogan.

The staunch support was not lost on Trump. He invited White onstage to address his Mar-a-Lago estate in West Palm Beach, Fla. The idea of the value of Rogan stayed with him too. Trump spent 3 hours with the podcasting deity on the ‘JRE’ Show #2219, all thanks to White. He supports the onstage setting of more mainstream, unadulterated media that the likes of Rogan can provide his next and final term.
