CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins<\/a>, already busy anchoring the network\u2019s news-heavy nightly show, will take on another high-pressure role as chief White House correspondent, the network confirmed Tuesday.<\/p>\n

In doing so, the Prattville native will become CNN\u2019s first prime-time anchor <\/a>to also serve as its top White House reporter.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a return gig <\/b>for Collins, who in 2021 became the youngest chief White House correspondent in CNN history. She gave up the position in 2022 to serve as the co-host of CNN\u2019s ill-fated morning show, which was based in New York.<\/p>\n

Still, that role helped propel her to a spot in the network\u2019s evening lineup in the summer of 2023 as the host of \u201cThe Source with Kaitlan Collins.\u201d<\/p>\n

Collins and her show will now split time between New York and Washington, where she will be at the center of CNN\u2019s reporting on the second Trump administration.<\/p>\n

CNN Chairman Mark Thompson said Collins is \u201cthe perfect person to lead coverage of the new Trump White House.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the past few weeks, Collins has been anchoring her show from West Palm Beach, Florida, near Donald Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago estate, where she\u2019s been covering the president-elect\u2019s transition and Cabinet appointments. Collins is expected to continue anchoring from Florida until Trump\u2019s inauguration in January. (Semafor first reported that CNN was \u201cconsidering\u201d appointing Collins as chief White House correspondent.)<\/p>\n

Collins, 32, <\/b>started her career at the Daily Caller, the right-leaning news website co-founded by Tucker Carlson, where she was promoted after two years from showbiz gossip to the 2016 campaign beat. While covering the Trump White House, she started getting booked for occasional talking-head appearances on CNN before formally joining the network.<\/p>\n

Since then, Collins has become one of CNN\u2019s most recognizable journalists, so much so that she is regularly spoofed on \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d by cast member Chloe Fineman.<\/a><\/p>\n

While Collins\u2019s show attracts a smaller audience than the 9 p.m. offerings on Fox News and MSNBC, she has bucked conventional programming strategy by emphasizing newsmaker interviews rather than commentary or analysis.<\/p>\n

\u201cKaitlan is a political journalist of real depth and tenacity who already boasts an amazing record of scoops and exclusive interviews,\u201d Thompson said in a statement. \u201cI\u2019m excited to see what new heights she scales as she combines this key new posting with her duties as a major CNN anchor.\u201d<\/p>\n
