Jeremey Boreing is leaving his position as co-CEO of The Daily Wire to pursue creative projects at the company, a memo obtained by Axios shows. Caleb Robinson, the founding CEO of the company, has been appointed full-time CEO effective immediately.
Boreing, who has been with The Daily Wire since its inception in 2015, played a pivotal role in transforming the outlet from a small news startup into a media giant valued at over $1 billion as of last year. In spite of departing his executive position, Boreing will continue to work with the company in an advisory capacity and will also remain as the host of “Daily Wire Backstage,” the company’s monthly show featuring Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles and Andrew Klavan.

The company has rapidly declined since losing Candace Owens and Brett Cooper. Maybe the new leadership will stop censoring hosts if they disagree with Ben Shapiro.

The leadership shake-up comes during a time of internal strife for The Daily Wire. The company had prominent talent like Candace Owens and Brett Cooper leave them. In March 2024, Boreing canceled Owens' contract after she made comments that many considered to be antisemitic. Cooper also departed the company in December 2024, raising public speculation of differences over internal strategy. “Cooper's actions had personally hurt Boreing,” though did not go into details.
These departures have raised questions about the company's internal dynamics and its ability to retain top talent. Observers have noted that such high-profile exits could impact The Daily Wire's public perception and influence within conservative media circles.
Ben Shapiro, co-founder and prominent figure at The Daily Wire, praised Boreing's contributions, stating that his "hard work and brilliant leadership have been indispensable to the growth of this company from an idea to the largest conservative digital media company in the country." Shapiro expressed enthusiasm for Boreing's continued creative involvement, saying, "We can't wait to see what he does next."
For Robinson and co-founder Ben Shapiro, who intend to make growth investments over the next year, the onus is on keeping a working balance between internal evolutions with external conditions in the volitive media marketplace.
