The 100 Most Popular Conservative X Accounts of 2026
It’s that time of year again! These are the most popular conservative X accounts of 2026!
PS: A few notes. Judgment calls had to be made in some places because some accounts aren’t that active, some people’s political leanings were questionable, and there are some large accounts that are generally considered conservative that don’t post about conservative issues all that much.
I generally tried to err on the side of including people, and if you’re a Republican politician and to the right of Susan Collins, you’re going to be eligible for this by default, although no government agencies or Republican Party accounts were included.
Generally, this list is usually not going to include people who are deceased, but as a tribute Charlie Kirk, I left him on this year. Rest well, and thanks for the good work while you were among us, Charlie!
Additionally, the numbers were rounded up. So, for example, 1.25M followers would round up to 1.3M followers. Last but not least, this is not a list of my favorite accounts; it’s a straightforward count of followers, so if you don’t like some of the people who made the list, take it up with the people who follow them.
PS #2: Putting together a comprehensive list like this is difficult, and it’s easy to miss people, especially since a few people have more than one account on the list. So, if you know of someone who should be on the list that isn’t on here, feel free to post them in the comments section so we can update the list. Nobody is deliberately being left off.

I'm not on "X", John, and I doubt I ever will be. There's too much instant, emotional reaction going on, and not so much sober analysis, although I certainly trust you. But any list that includes MTG, and other major nut-gone-flake types like Tucker and Candace frankly does not interest me. I'm so old fashioned I like your columns, not just tiny blurbs, sorry.
Surely the name of Jared Taylor who has heroically toiled for decades, now crowned with success, to tell people the truth about race, immigration, genetics should appear.
A number of names surprise me. Ted Cruz? (whose wife in an officer of Goldman Sachs and who did everything in his power to oppose Trump's nomination in 2016, for which he and his wife were deservedly booed at the Republican Convention). The mouthpiece of the globalist military-industrial complex Lindsay Graham? Newt Gingrich? (I knew Newt Gingrich when he was in school at Emory University. It was the goal of every decent conservative in DeKalb County to keep Newt Gingrich, a liberal Republican off the County Republican Executive Committee. He was the Chairman in the SE for the Rockefeller for President campaign. He famously played pattycake with Bill Clinton when the Republicans won a majority in Congress in the midterm elections. Gingrich cooperated with Clinton in a lame duck congressional session so he could help Clinton pass the NAFTA treaty so as to export American industry to Mexico and screw working class Americans. No sooner was he Speaker of the House than he told us of his opinion that Franklin D. Roosevelt was "the greatest President in American history." Surely, no matter how many people get Newt's emails he should never be included in a list of conservatives.
