US President Donald Trump has asked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) boss Dana White to be White House press secretary, in a social media post.

“Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Dana, please take the job!”

It’s unclear whether the president’s public job offer is genuine. The BBC has asked the White House and UFC, along with its parent company TKO Group Holdings, for comment.

The vacancy for White House press secretary has been open since mid-October, when Katie Zacharia exited after just a few days on the job.

The Democrats have won a blowout victory in the US midterm elections, winning the Senate and the House of Representatives, taking control of Congress for the rest of Donald Trump’s presidency.

In the Senate race, Republican strongholds have been toppled by the Democrats in Texas, Ohio and Kansas, which last elected a Democrat almost 100 years ago.

Trump has congratulated the Democrats on a “good job” and acknowledged that gas prices hurt Republicans during the midterm races, saying people “didn’t like it” when they had to pay more for fuel.

The midterm elections happen mid-way through every 4-year presidential election cycle, giving Americans the chance to elect members of Congress, which is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Here is how the night unfolded.

Would you let AI walk around your home?

Meta has reportedly built a humanoid robot called Max and, if Mark Zuckerberg gets his way, this could be the next frontier for artificial intelligence. After years of AI living on our screens, Silicon Valley is now racing to give AI a body, one that can see, hear, move through the world and interact with people in real life.

This week on AI Decoded, we explore the growing race to put humanoid robots into our homes and workplaces. Joining us are John Hanke, founder of Niantic and CEO of Niantic Spatial, Ed Zitron, one of the technology industry’s most outspoken critics, and technology researcher and author Stephanie Hare.

Together, they unpack the technical challenges, commercial ambitions and ethical questions behind the push to bring AI into the physical world.
