Ultimate Victory: Dana White Welcomes Trump at UFC Event

The former President , Donald Trump , was warmly welcomed by over 17,000 fans at an Ultimate Fighting Championship event in Newark , New Jersey . Just one day after being convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records , he was surrounded by a crowd of enthusiastic supporters eager to shake his hand as he made his way to the ring through the sea of grown men and young boys.

One of the key demographics that Trump and the Republicans are hoping to attract during the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee is young men . UFC CEO Dana White , a longtime friend of Trump , is scheduled to introduce the former president at the event . White has been a vocal supporter of Trump , speaking at previous Republican conventions and even making a video for him on TikTok.

The Republican Party has traditionally had strong support among men in presidential elections , with Trump holding a double - digit lead among male voters . However , there is a growing gender divide between voters who support Democrats and Republicans , with President Joe Biden leading in support among women.

Despite being seen as more progressive , young men in the Gen Z and Millennial demographics are less supportive of gender equality , according to polling data . This new gender gap in American politics has become a topic of discussion among political analysts and commentators.

While the inclusion of speakers like Dana White at the Republican National Convention has been praised by young conservatives , there has also been criticism over White 's past behavior . A video of White slapping his wife , Anne , during a vacation in Mexico in 2023 resurfaced online , drawing backlash from Democrats who questioned his inclusion at the convention.

In addition to Dana White , other prominent conservative figures like Tucker Carlson and fraternity members from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will be speaking at the convention . The organizers of the event are making an effort to appeal to a broad audience , including everyday Americans who have gained national attention for their actions , such as the UNC fraternity members who stood up to protect the American flag during a protest.
