The interview marked Trump&#8217;s first appearance on the network since 2016, and Collins did not shy away from asking revealing questions and fact-checking the former president in real-time. CNN sees it as their role and responsibility to hold the powerful accountable and arm voters with crucial information about Trump&#8217;s positions as he enters the 2024 election as the Republican frontrunner.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Collins&#8217; strong start, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-releases-statement-about-kaitlan-collins-performance-during-trump-town-hall\/\" title=\"CNN comments on Kaitlan Collins' performance at Trump Town Hall.\">quickly lost control<\/a> of the event, and her performance was criticized by many. However, Puck News reported that CNN CEO Chris Licht is set to offer Collins a new contract to host the network&#8217;s 9 p.m. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-viewership-has-plunged-since-trump-left-the-white-house\/\" title=\"CNN Viewership Has Plunged Since Trump Left The White House\">primetime hour<\/a>, which was previously occupied by Chris Cuomo. The report suggests that Collins&#8217; performance is not expected to impact the offer, but with Trump, anything is possible.<\/p>\n<p>CNN&#8217;s announcement is expected to take place in the coming days, capping off Collins&#8217; fast rise through the network. From her time as a White House reporter who often got under the skin of former President Donald Trump, Collins has become a fresh face for the network&#8217;s primetime lineup.
