儘管美國總統川普淡化共和黨大敗對政府造成的衝擊,仍開始進行人事調整,將白宮幕僚長一職交付死忠親信強硬派人士米勒(Stephen Miller)。另一項引發外界議論的人事布局,是川普7日宣布,已向與他交情匪淺的「終極格鬥冠軍賽」(UFC)總裁兼執行長懷特(Dana White,中國粉絲稱他為「白大拿」)提出白宮新聞秘書的工作邀約。

不僅如此,川普還點名6位UFC格鬥選手,要求懷特帶著他們一同到白宮給予協助,「我們需要這些人來捍衛我們免於左派瘋子所害」。

隨川普第二任期上任的前新聞秘書李威特(Karoline Leavitt),因家庭因素於8月底卸任,轉任外部顧問。10月接任的電視政治評論員凱蒂札卡利亞(Katie Zacharia)因律師資格爭議,任職僅5天就遭川普「勸退」。

懷特證實會在9日與川普會晤商討新聞秘書職務。另據美國有線新聞網(CNN)引述知情人士說法,懷特已婉拒這項職務邀請。

Incumbent councilor Hung Wanzhen and newcomer Zhang Mingyou pointed out that although the election was blessed by "ocean currents", the competition for seats was fierce, and vote allocation strategies and local management would be the key to victory or defeat.
