UFC CEO Dana White will once again speak on behalf of longtime friend and former United States President, Donald Trump, when he takes the stage this Thurs. (July 18) at the 2024 Republican National Convention (RNC). Trump is hoping to defeat current commander-in-chief, Joe Biden, after losing the 2020 election in somewhat messy fashion.
White won’t be the only non-political speaker during this week’s festivities, held at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Expect security to be on high alert after Trump survived an assassination attempt while campaigning last weekend in Pennsylvania — which may wanna rethink that whole “You’ve got a friend” shtick after the debacle in Butler.

- The CEO of the Republican Jewish Coalition is Matt Brooks.
