Newsmax has announced it has eclipsed the 20 million follower plateau on social media, with millions of followers on platforms like Facebook, X, YouTube, and Truth Social, among others.
Facebook is the leading platform for the company, as it features more than 5 million followers on the Mark Zuckerberg-founded platform. During the first quarter of the year, the company saw 27.4 million social interactions on the platform, which is a 123% increase compared to the same time last year.
Truth Social — the platform founded by President Donald Trump — is also a large platform for Newsmax, as it features 4.1 million followers.
On X, Newsmax has 3.4 million followers. The cable network features 2.4 million followers on YouTube and over 2 million on Instagram. An additional 1.3 million followers are subscribed to the outlet’s channel on Rumble.
Other platforms with large followings include TikTok (169,000), Threads (390,000), and the conservative blogging platform Gettr, with 1.1 million followers.
