The White House Correspondents’ Association revealed a new seating chart in the White House briefing room, and The Daily Wire now has a permanent seat.
After becoming the outlet’s first-ever White House correspondent in 2025, Mary Margaret Olohan will now have a permanent seat in the briefing room, while other reporters will also be granted access to the space.
“Proud of the work we’ve been doing in year one, and I promise our readers it’s only going to get bigger and better from here,” said Editor-in-Chief Brent Scher in a post on social media announcing the addition.
The WHCA said in a letter to the press corps that it was looking to include emerging digital outlets, including those producing newsletters as part of the new seating arrangements inside the briefing room.
Outlets like The Daily Beast and Buzzfeed saw their seats removed as The Daily Wire took over one of the digital seats.
