Nicki Minaj has received some informal nominations to be the next White House press secretary … with 2 staffers glowingly floating her name as a replacement after Katie Zacharia was fired.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary! @NICKIMINAJ https://t.co/petoprxVoX

Sharing a video of Nicki Minaj lauding President Donald Trump‘s international politics on Air Force One … White House Communications Director Steven Cheung wrote … “Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary!”

The White House’s X account responded with an “eyeballs” emoji … before Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz replied … “Hey Barbz, what do we think about this idea??”

Even Nicki herself responded to the idea … sharing an American flag and grinning face with sweat emojis … you know, the one that symbolizes nervous laughter.

Of course, it’s unclear if they’re seriously considering her for the role — but hey, stranger things have happened!

As for Nicki … the rapper seemed more focused on her experience flying in Air Force One.

Taking to X herself … she shared a video of her in awe as she panned to show the airplane’s huge interior.

Nicki is set to appear alongside Trump in Port Huron, Michigan, this evening … we’ll keep you posted on how this impromptu interview process goes.
