The Drudge report is right here:
It's easily accessible with Safari. Book mark it and add the bookmark as an icon to your home screen:

Have you read the thread? There have been a number of suggestions. But, as neither Apple nor Drudge are participants in this thread, there can be definitive answers. If you wish to pursue the matter, I suggest you contact Drudge. To date, I haven't heard that they've responded to anyone who has asked this question (which lends support to the theory that it was not Apple who removed the app) but, you might get lucky.
There have also been suggestions for alternatives:

And
download “the report” app. It’s a conservative news app which you can read drudge on
How do you know this? Seems to me if Apple had done it then the Drudge people would be complaining - and it's not like they don't have a rather loud megaphone. However, on all of the threads about this question folks have contacted the Drudge people and have had no reply. So, frankly, unless you have some actual evidence that Apple did something, the more likely explanation is that the makers withdrew the app.
Well if you do a Google search " Where is the Drudge app" for example, you get a listing of some discussions that are about 6 or 7 days old. When you click on any of them it redirects you to the Apple support forum, and it show they have all been removed.
I noticed this a couple of days ago, too. In the meantime, until this gets straighted out, we can save a link to DRUDGE REPORT 2018® at https://drudgereport.com on our Home Screens. Just go to use the box with the arrow in Safari or Google Chrome to make your own button on your Home Screen.
I see that some of the discussions concerning this issue have been removed. Even when I check my own recent activity I see that those posts have been deleted. If Apple is censoring posts and deleting Drudge I would think it would be a huge thing with Drudge protesting most of all. But Drudge is not. I think this forum is the best place to solve this mystery and I hope someone has a definitive response.

That's the key point. But Drudge is not.
If you want to know why the app is gone from the App Store, ask the makers.

Drudge is gone from apple App Store! Have it on my other iPhones, trying to find for my new iPhone. Not there! Has been removed. This will make national news unless brought back quickly!
It's been gone for more than a month. So far, very few people actually seem to care.
I have never received a response from Drudge re why their app is not in the store. Still wondering why.
This might be interesting to some. I have two Drudge Report apps on my iPhone 6. One has a white background with a big "D" on it. When I open it it has "AMAZON.COM" on top. The other app also has a white background and the words "DRUDGE" over the word "REPORT". That does not show amazon and has the various stores in three columns.
I deleted my app today as it was getting a weird pop up. Of course it appears to be missing...
There is a solution! Go to drudge on safari and save the site to your home screen. Just like having the app except no signature “D”
This is such BS! I don’t need Apple to censor my news sources. They did this with Breitbart and now they have taken the Drudge Report away.
This is my last iPhone. I guess I can only view news from places Apple wants me to see if I want to use their phones.
So this will be my last iPhone.

There is nothing to stop you from viewing the Drudge report through a browser. Breitbart is also available through the Apple News app so, it hardly seems as if they are preventing you from seeing it.
Is your point that Apple is not censoring both sites becase they still graciously allow me to navigate to a web page? I think that is a pretty foolish position if it is. I can still get the garbage CNN puts out through their app and MSNBC...the bastion of accurate news that they are...turns out their app is just fine. It seems to be only the conservative news sources that need to be removed.
Apple is not censoring anything because they are not preventing you from accessing the information you desire. Period. "Freedom of speech" does not mean that a private company is required to provide the Drudge Report, Democracy Now or HuffPo with a platform. All indications are that the respective purveyors (Drudge and Breitbart) pulled their own apps. Apple is not preventing Drudge or Breitbart from decimating information any more than Walmart is censoring Playboy (or similar) by refusing to sell that publication in their stores.
And yes, you can get Breitbart through the Apple News app.
Drudge report is gone from the app store and the app is not working now so *** is going on apple?
