Massive wave of layoffs at The Daily Wire
On May 2, 2026, reports emerged on social media about a significant shake-up at the conservative news site "The Daily Wire." According to RealCandaceO, a conservative commentator known for her criticism of mainstream media, the organization has fired almost all of its employees. In a post she published on X, Candace Owens mocked the conduct of co-founder Ben Shapiro regarding the layoffs.
At the same time, user MJ_FERMEZ_LA reported on X that it involves the firing of "half the staff." According to the same source, the move comes against the backdrop of a sharp decline in Ben Shapiro's viewership figures, who, according to the user, has lost about 85% of his YouTube audience over the past year.
As of this moment, no official response has been received from The Daily Wire's management regarding the exact scope of the cuts or the reasons that led to them. This is an event that has caused significant echoes online, with hundreds of thousands of views for the initial reports on the subject.
