The White House talked about the possibility of appointing the rapper Nicki Minaj to the position of press secretary instead of the former chairman Zachariah, who held the position for 5 days. White House communications director Steven Chun posted a video with the singer and wrote: "Looks like we found a new press secretary." Although it may have been said in jest, Minaj also joined Trump's GOP campaign rally ahead of the midterm congressional elections.
