Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of The Daily Wire, is stepping down from his role as co-CEO to focus on the company’s creative projects. Boreing, who co-founded The Daily Wire in 2015 alongside Ben Shapiro and Caleb Robinson, played a pivotal role in transforming the conservative outlet from a small news startup into a media colossus valued at over $1 billion as of last year.
Robinson, the company’s founding CEO, will now assume the position of full-time CEO, effective immediately. Robinson and Boreing have shared the co-CEO title since 2019.
Despite stepping back from day-to-day operations, Boreing told staff in a memo obtained by Axios that he will continue to support The Daily Wire in an advisory role and remain a familiar face as a host on “Daily Wire Backstage”—the outlet’s monthly roundtable show featuring Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles and Andrew Klavan.
There’s been no confirmed controversy or fallout tied to Boreing’s decision to step down, though that hasn’t stopped pundits on both the left and right from speculating—so far without concrete evidence—that there’s more to the story.
Brett Cooper, the former “it girl” of the Daily Wire, had an intriguing response.
Axios noted that Boreing’s move comes as The Daily Wire aggressively pivots deeper into entertainment, suggesting this could simply be a strategic realignment—with Boreing focusing more on content creation, while Caleb Robinson takes the reins on scaling operations and growth.
Under Boreing’s leadership, The Daily Wire expanded beyond news and commentary, launching the subscription-based streaming platform Daily Wire+ and the children’s entertainment brand Bentkey. He also played a significant role in establishing the company’s status as an e-commerce giant.
Looking ahead, Robinson and Shapiro plan to continue pursuing growth investments in 2025 to further expand the company’s reach and influence amid a sea of liberal media.
