Who is CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins and how old is she?
KAITLAN Collins has been an on-air reporter for CNN since 2017 and serves as the cable network's chief White House correspondent. Collins was named one of Mediaite's 50 Most Influential People in News Media in 2018, 2019, and 2020. The 29-year-old Collins has earned many honors for her reporting, including being featured on Forbes magazine's 30 under 30: Media list. Collins broke multiple stories about Donald Trump's administration, including major staff departures and "consequential policy decisions," according to her CNN bio. She joined CNN from The Daily Caller, where she covered the 2016 presidential election and the first few months of Trump's tenure. Collins clashed at times with former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany when Trump was in office. 2 Kaitlan Collins and Jessica Nigro in 2019 Credit: Getty  McEnany told Collins as she was leaving the podium in November of 2020 that she doesn't "call on activists," and she declined to answer any further questions. "Im not an activist and you havent taken questions since October 1st," Collins responded. "You just took about five [questions], Kayleigh. That's not doing your job - your taxpayer-funded job." The heated exchange came two weeks after Joe Biden soundly defeated Trump in the election - yet there had not been an admission of defeat by the administration.
