(Natural News)—The incoming second administration of President-elect Donald Trump plans to grant White House press credentials to YouTubers, podcasters and social media influencers.
YourNews reported on the plan on Tuesday, Nov. 19, citing sources familiar with the matter. The tipsters noted that the move seeks “to diversify the voices present in the James Brady Press Briefing Room.”
The following day, Nov. 20, X user @Daily_TruthBomb also posted about the second Trump administration’s plan. “This room currently seats 49 reporters. I think we might need a bigger room,” the X user wrote on Wednesday, alongside a picture of the briefing room.
“The [second] Trump administration’s decision to include digital content creators marks a significant shift toward embracing non-traditional media platforms,” YourNews continued. “This development [also] follows a pattern of engagement between Trump and digital influencers.”
In October 2020, members of the YouTube group Nelk met with Trump aboard Air Force One during a campaign rally at the time. They were also seen dancing to “Y.M.C.A.” by the Village People with the then-45th president onstage after the rally.
In March 2022, Trump appeared on Nelk’s “Full Send Podcast.” His appearance there garnered five million views within 24 hours before YouTube removed it. Nelk supported Trump during the real estate mogul’s presidential campaign this year, with co-founder Kyle Forgeard speaking at several rallies.
While the White House itself determines press credentials, the White House Correspondents’ Association traditionally oversees seeing arrangements in the briefing room. Such briefings, according to YourNews, have been the domain of mainstream media (MSM) outlets – major broadcast networks, national newspapers and news wire services. However, the inclusion of digital influencers “may necessitate adjustments to accommodate new participants, potentially affecting existing media outlets’ access.” (Related: White House turns to low-IQ TikTok influencers to put spin on why oil and gas prices are rising… cue ridiculous “explanations” by clueless celebs.)
Throughout his campaign, Trump has frequently criticized legacy media, often referring to “fake news” at rallies. MSM outlet CNN often saw itself on the receiving end of the president-elect’s remarks, more so during his first administration.
Influencers played a role in Trump’s second election win
Sara Fischer of Axios elaborated on the role influencers played in Trump’s second election victory, citing several examples. The real estate mogul is the second president to be elected to two non-consecutive terms after Grover Cleveland.
First, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s opposition to Big Pharma attracted several key personalities to Trump’s politics – including fitness personality Jillian Michaels, former ESPN host Sage Steele and former race car driver Danica Patrick. Kennedy ended his campaign in August and backed Trump, a move which paid off when the president-elect nominated the environmental lawyer to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

Second, independent podcasters such as Megyn Kelly and Steve Bannon galvanized support for Trump. The latter, who was recently freed from prison late last month, told Axios that his “Bannon’s War Room” podcast is now supported by almost 30 employees. Despite this, Bannon plans to double down on his podcast’s town hall episodes and continue streaming on Real America’s Voice.
Third, conservative content such as documentaries showed the real score about Trump – away from the censorship of MSM networks. Two examples of such content include “Art of the Surge” by Tucker Carlson’s Tucker Carlson Network, which touches on the Trump campaign, and the movie “Am I Racist?” by Ben Shapiro’s The Daily Wire.
Garrett Ventry, co-founder of the Washington Reporter, commented on Fischer’s report. “Traditional media is losing its influence under Trump. Personalities with larger platforms and access to information and power are the new sheriff in town.”
