The White House Press Secretary position officially opened on October 16, 2026, after Katie Zacharia was fired due to resume discrepancies. She was the shortest-serving U.S. Press Secretary in the country's history. She held the role for five days. Now — checks notes — Nicki Minaj could be taking over.
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung shared a video of Minaj and President Trump arriving on AF1. He jokingly remarked that Minaj could fill the vacancy.
However, note that Cheung is as much of an internet troll as the "Truffle Butter" rapper. In 2025, he changed the White House's LinkedIn profile picture to a portrait of President Trump. When confronted about it on X, he responded, "That's the whole point, dummy. Trolololololol."
Her place in politics, for now, remains hearsay. Still, Minaj has publicly supported President Trump since 2025, despite pushback from fans concerned about her visibility as a public figure. On January 28, 2026, Minaj proclaimed herself his "number one fan." The pair met that same day at the Treasury Department's Trump Accounts Summit in Washington, D.C.
Her Air Force One joyride took her to a midterm campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan. This was Minaj's first official campaign rally appearance alongside him. At the rally, President Trump remarked on Minaj's "beautiful ass," which some deemed inappropriate.
The Press Secretary appointment rumors have been described as "a joke" – for now. It is unknown if Minaj is expected to make more public appearances alongside President Trump. He is campaigning to support republican candidates for the upcoming midterm elections on November 3rd, 2026. His next stop is in Corinth, Mississippi, tomorrow, October 26, 2026.
