Conor McGregor , 36 , shared the news on Instagram with a photo of himself wearing a “Make Ireland Great Again” hat.

The president of Ireland is elected every seven years and can serve a total of two terms.

McGregor said he was at the White House to “raise the issues the people of Ireland face”.

McGregor had previously teased a presidential run last September in a post on X.

“Chip, chop now fellas, don’t make me keep going. Do what you’re told by the people of Ireland and we will have no issue here. Do not and it’s over for you,” he wrote.
