The Daily Wire was conceived by Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing, who both worked for TruthRevolt, a news website that was formerly funded by the David Horowitz Freedom Center.{{Cite web |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/12/how-hollywood-invented-ben-shapiro |title='Let's Make You Famous': How Hollywood Invented Ben Shapiro |last=Nguyen, Tina |date=December 9, 2018 |website=Vanity Fair |access-date=December 28, 2018 |archive-date=December 10, 2018 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20181210134237/https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/12/how-hollywood-invented-ben-shapiro |url-status=live }} After the duo secured several million dollars in seed funding from billionaire petroleum industry brothers Dan and Farris Wilks, The Daily Wire was launched in 2015.{{Cite web |url=https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/01/is-ben-shapiro-a-conservative-liberals-can-count-on.html |title=The Many Faces of Ben Shapiro |last=Stevenson, Seth |date=January 24, 2018 |website=Slate |access-date=December 28, 2018 |archive-date=May 25, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190525080449/https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/01/is-ben-shapiro-a-conservative-liberals-can-count-on.html |url-status=live }}{{Cite web |last=Gregory |first=John |date=2020 |title=dailywire.com |url=https://www.newsguardtech.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/NG-dailywire.com-Dec2020update.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210719225539/https://www.newsguardtech.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/NG-dailywire.com-Dec2020update.pdf |archive-date=July 19, 2021 |access-date=July 26, 2021 |website=NewsGuard |quote=An October 2019 article headlined "KNOWLES: AOC Travels To Europe To Cry," made false claims about climate change.}} Farris manages DailyWire Ventures, LLC (formerly Forward Publishing, LLC, and later Bentkey Ventures, LLC), which publishes The Daily Wire.

The Daily Wire became one of the leading news sites and publishers on Facebook in terms of engagement. In 2018, NewsWhip identified The Daily Wire as "by far" the top right-wing publisher on Facebook.{{Cite web |url=http://go.newswhip.com/rs/647-QQK-704/images/Hyper-Partisan%20Final.pdf |title=Partisan Publishers and Political Content |date=September 2018 |website=NewsWhip |access-date=July 10, 2019 |archive-date=September 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190927180933/http://go.newswhip.com/rs/647-QQK-704/images/Hyper-Partisan%20Final.pdf |url-status=live }} According to NewsWhip, The Daily Wire was the sixth-leading English-language publisher on Facebook in 2019 through the month of March. The site also had the second most articles among Facebook's 10,000 top stories.{{Cite web |url=http://go.newswhip.com/rs/647-QQK-704/images/Facebook%20Publishing%202019_Final.pdf |title=2019 Guide to Publishing on Facebook |date=March 2019 |website=NewsWhip |page=4 |access-date=July 10, 2019 |archive-date=July 13, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190713150422/http://go.newswhip.com/rs/647-QQK-704/images/Facebook%20Publishing%202019_Final.pdf |url-status=live }} In 2021, stories published by The Daily Wire received more likes, shares and comments on Facebook than any other news publisher, according to NPR.

In April 2019, Podtrac ranked The Daily Wire's The Ben Shapiro Show the second most listened-to podcast in the U.S. for the month of March 2019, behind The Daily.{{Cite news |url=http://www.insideradio.com/free/a-bounce-for-ben-shapiro-in-march-says-podtrac/article_7fbca710-66d3-11e9-8954-734748203ec0.html |title=A Bounce For Ben Shapiro in March Says Podtrac |date=April 24, 2019 |work=Inside Radio |access-date=June 11, 2019 |archive-date=June 22, 2019 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20190622141006/http://www.insideradio.com/free/a-bounce-for-ben-shapiro-in-march-says-podtrac/article_7fbca710-66d3-11e9-8954-734748203ec0.html |url-status=live }}

In June 2020, Shapiro stepped down from his role as editor-in-chief, which he had held since the site's founding, and took on the role of editor emeritus. John Bickley was announced as the site's next editor-in-chief.

In January 2021, Shapiro announced that The Daily Wire was beginning a studio for TV and films that would not promote leftist causes.{{Cite web |url=https://www.dailywire.com/news/shapiro-why-the-daily-wires-getting-into-the-entertainment-business |title='Shapiro: Why The Daily Wire Is Getting Into The Entertainment Business' |last=Shapiro, Ben |date=January 3, 2020 |website=The Daily Wire |access-date=January 3, 2020 |archive-date=January 1, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210101171228/https://www.dailywire.com/news/shapiro-why-the-daily-wires-getting-into-the-entertainment-business |url-status=live }} Its first original movie, Shut In, premiered in 2022.

In September 2021, Shapiro and Boreing announced that The Daily Wire would defy U.S. President Joe Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for companies with more than 100 employees.{{Cite web|last=Ellefson|first=Lindsey|date=September 10, 2021|title=Conservative Outlet Daily Wire Vows to Defy Biden Vaccine Order|url=https://www.thewrap.com/conservative-outlet-daily-wire-vows-to-defy-biden-vaccine-order/|url-status=live|access-date=September 13, 2021|website=TheWrap|language=en-US|archive-date=May 9, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220509221002/https://www.thewrap.com/conservative-outlet-daily-wire-vows-to-defy-biden-vaccine-order/}} The company later filed a lawsuit, and the issue was eventually brought before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court declared the mandates unlawful with a 6-3 ruling.{{cite web |url=https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/25/covid-vaccine-mandate-osha-withdraws-rule-for-businesses-after-losing-supreme-court-case.html |title=Biden administration withdraws Covid vaccine mandate for businesses after losing Supreme Court case |last=Kimball |first=Spencer |date=January 25, 2022 |publisher=CNBC |access-date=February 18, 2022 |archive-date=February 18, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220218133318/https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/25/covid-vaccine-mandate-osha-withdraws-rule-for-businesses-after-losing-supreme-court-case.html |url-status=live }}

In 2021, The Daily Wire announced a new publishing imprint, DW Books, that would release books by Shapiro, Candace Owens, Gina Carano, and an officer who fired shots in the police killing of Breonna Taylor, among others. According to AP News, this "continues a trend of conservatives setting up channels outside of the New York [publishing] houses", after publishing houses canceled several books seen as promoting extremist views, or refused distribution when other imprints picked them up. DW Books planned to release books through Ingram Content Group starting in 2022.{{Cite web|url=https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-entertainment-business-new-york-breonna-taylor-faa78abaed5ff00323d05e0c92a182eb|title=Daily Wire launches conservative book publishing imprint|date=October 13, 2021|website=AP News|first=Hillel|last=Italie|access-date=November 5, 2021|archive-date=November 5, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211105001648/https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-entertainment-business-new-york-breonna-taylor-faa78abaed5ff00323d05e0c92a182eb|url-status=live}}

In January 2023, conservative commentator Steven Crowder revealed on his Youtube channel that he had received a term sheet from an unnamed conservative media company (later revealed to be The Daily Wire) that included a provision that, if he were to be demonetized or removed from platforms such as YouTube, Facebook or the iTunes Store, his salary would be cut substantially during that period. Crowder took immense issue with that provision, saying that it enforces policies that disproportionately target conservatives and claiming "Big Tech is in bed with Big Con."{{cite web |last1=Binder |first1=Matt |title=Why is Steven Crowder at war with Ben Shapiro's company? |url=https://mashable.com/article/steven-crowder-ben-shapiro-daily-wire-youtube-monetization-contract-dispute |website=Mashable |access-date=30 January 2023 |language=en |date=21 January 2023 |archive-date=January 30, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130225839/https://mashable.com/article/steven-crowder-ben-shapiro-daily-wire-youtube-monetization-contract-dispute |url-status=live }} CEO Jeremy Boreing later responded to Crowder's video, claiming that Crowder had misrepresented the terms of the contract and that the contract would have paid Crowder $50 million over four years. Furthermore, Boreing asserted that the stipulation was necessary to ensure profitability.{{cite web |last1=Porterfield |first1=Carlie |title=Right-Wing Pundits Ben Shapiro And Steven Crowder Clash Over $50 Million Media Deal |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/carlieporterfield/2023/01/20/right-wing-pundits-ben-shapiro-and-steven-crowder-clash-over-50-million-media-deal/ |website=Forbes |access-date=30 January 2023 |language=en |archive-date=January 24, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230124231951/https://www.forbes.com/sites/carlieporterfield/2023/01/20/right-wing-pundits-ben-shapiro-and-steven-crowder-clash-over-50-million-media-deal/ |url-status=live }} Other Daily Wire pundits such as Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, and Candace Owens also criticized Crowder for his actions, including secretly recording a phone call he had with Boreing and only releasing parts of the call selectively, including a quote from Boreing saying that up-and-coming conservative commentators need to be "wage slaves for a little bit" while they build their brand.{{cite web |title=Ben Shapiro Tears Into YouTube 'Shill' Steven Crowder After Shock Jock Escalates Feud By Airing Secret Recording of Daily Wire CEO |url=https://www.mediaite.com/news/ben-shapiro-tears-into-youtube-shill-steven-crowder-after-shock-jock-escalates-feud-by-airing-secret-recording-of-daily-wire-ceo/ |first=Alex |last=Griffing |website=Mediaite |date=January 20, 2023 |access-date=January 30, 2023 |archive-date=January 26, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230126141447/https://www.mediaite.com/news/ben-shapiro-tears-into-youtube-shill-steven-crowder-after-shock-jock-escalates-feud-by-airing-secret-recording-of-daily-wire-ceo/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |title=Steven Crowder's Daily Wire Feud Escalates Over 'Wage Slaves' Recording |url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/steven-crowders-daily-wire-feud-escalates-over-wage-slaves-recording |first=Dan |last=Ladden-Hall |website=The Daily Beast |date=January 20, 2023 |access-date=January 30, 2023 |archive-date=January 30, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130152351/https://www.thedailybeast.com/steven-crowders-daily-wire-feud-escalates-over-wage-slaves-recording |url-status=live }}
