Dana White Says Many Celebrities Secretly Back Trump After UFC 250 White House Event

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 24

Dana White said “a lot” of celebrities are “closet supporters” of Donald Trump, telling Tomi Lahren viewers would be “shocked” to know who privately backs the president.
The UFC president made the claim in an OutKick interview recorded after UFC 250, the June 14 fight card staged on the White House lawn with Trump in attendance.
White has been one of Trump’s most visible sports allies, speaking at multiple Republican conventions, while several UFC fighters also campaigned for Trump in Michigan during the 2024 election.
The remarks echo broader claims of a stigma around public Trump support in entertainment and sports, with actor Dennis Quaid and reporter Emily Austin both recently saying supporters often stay quiet to avoid backlash.
