Dana White Thanks Joe Rogan in Donald Trump Election Victory Speech

UFC CEO Dana White gave surprising shout-outs to a number of comedians, streamers, and YouTubers during Donald Trump’s U.S. election victory speech. White praised Joe Rogan, Theo Von, and other influential online personalities.

White took to the stage as Trump announced his victory in the presidential election. While key states are still being counted, Trump is all but guaranteed to secure a second term in office after nearly acquiring 270 Electoral College votes. White called Trump’s looming victory “karma,” praising the presumed 47th President of the United States before thanking a number of people who supported the Republican candidate’s campaign.

“I want to thank some people real quick,” White said in his brief speech. “I want to thank the NELK Boys, Adin Ross, Theo Von, Bussin’ With the Boys, and last but not least, the mighty and the powerful Joe Rogan.”

Joe Rogan’s last-minute support of Trump was widely publicized. A long-time democrat, Rogan’s politics have veered to the right since Trump’s first presidency, and in the weeks leading up to the election he hosted podcast interviews with Trump, J.D. Vance, and Elon Musk.

Trump also made several other high-profile appearances with online creators during his campaign. He appeared on comedian Theo Von’s ‘This Past Weekend’ podcast, and also courted a younger crowd on Adin Ross’ Kick livestream.
