Trump aide floats Nicki Minaj as White House press secretary

A Trump aide has jokingly floated rapper Nicki Minaj as a potential White House press secretary after sharing a video aboard Air Force One

Steven Cheung, the White House director of communications posted the video on X on Sunday, 25 October, writing: “Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary!”

The post comes after the White House announced last week that Katie Zacharia was leaving the role, just days after taking up the position.

Minaj also shared a video from aboard Air Force One as Trump departed for Port Huron, Michigan, as part of his midterm campaign trail.
