White's playful reaction

The 57-year-old MMA executive responded by posting an image of himself standing at the familiar White House briefing room lectern. The accompanying caption read "On to the next chapter," which many interpreted as a sign he is considering the possibility. Neither the White House nor representatives for White offered any official comment when contacted by Us.

Turmoil following midterm setbacks

This unusual outreach follows the quick exit of Katie Zacharia, who left the press secretary position after only five days. Trump reportedly tried to convince her to stay, and she later spoke positively about him in public statements. The move also comes after significant election defeats for Trump's party, as Democrats gained control of both chambers of Congress and flipped multiple states. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis described the results as "close to an extinction-level event." Trump's approval rating stood at 34 percent heading into the 2026 midterms, according to reports, while he continued sharing his views on Truth Social.
