White House Signals CNN Exclusion from Air Force One Trip, Real Americas Voice News to Join
The White House has signaled that CNN will not be included on Air Force One for President Trump's upcoming trip, with the conservative outlet Real Americas Voice News taking its place, indicating a new media restriction.

Missoula, MT, September 25, 2026 — The White House has indicated that the news outlet CNN will not be among the media representatives accompanying President Trump on an upcoming trip aboard Air Force One. Instead, the conservative news organization Real Americas Voice News is slated to take CNN’s place on the presidential aircraft.
This development suggests a potential shift in media access protocols for presidential travel. The specific reasons behind the decision to exclude CNN and include Real Americas Voice News were not detailed beyond the indication of a new media restriction.
The White House’s decision means that journalists from CNN will not have the opportunity to travel with the President on Air Force One for this particular journey. Real Americas Voice News, a conservative outlet, will reportedly fill this role.
The details regarding the upcoming trip, including its destination and exact timing, have not been publicly disclosed in relation to this media arrangement. The contractor responsible for media logistics or any specific criteria used for selecting news organizations for Air Force One travel were not provided.
This change marks a notable instance of alterations in the established media pool that typically travels with the U.S. President. The full scope and implications of this new media restriction remain to be seen as future travel plans are announced.
