On Friday, September 25, 2026, the White House announced that CNN would be excluded from accompanying President Donald Trump on Air Force One for a trip the following day. This decision is part of an ongoing dispute over media access and marks a new level of restriction by replacing CNN with Real America's Voice News, a conservative outlet. The move comes after a judge temporarily lifted bans imposed last week on CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House grounds, allowing these journalists to return despite the continued exclusion from Air Force One coverage.

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.
