CNN was excluded from traveling with President Donald Trump on Air Force One during his trip to Tennessee on Saturday to cover a college football game. This exclusion follows previous attempts by the White House to bar CNN and other outlets from covering events due to tensions between the administration and these media organizations. A federal judge had earlier reinstated access for banned reporters to the White House grounds but did not address restrictions on traveling with Air Force One. Real America’s Voice News replaced CNN in covering Trump's visit to Tennessee.

Story summary
On September 25, 2026, the White House barred CNN from flying with President Donald Trump on Air Force One for his trip to Knoxville, Tennessee, on September 26, where he was scheduled to attend a college football game. This decision followed a previous ban by Trump against CNN and other outlets like MS NOW and Politico from covering his daily activities at the White House. Despite a judge’s order restoring access to the White House grounds for these networks, the ruling did not address Air Force One pool duties. The spot meant for CNN was instead given to Real America's Voice News, a conservative network. This move escalates an ongoing dispute over media freedoms and highlights concerns about First Amendment implications.
