CNN plans to offer former chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins their primetime 9 p.m. timeslot and a new contract, a report said Wednesday.

Collins — a former co-host with Don Lemon and a favorite of CNN CEO Chris Licht  — could find herself in the role previously as soon as next week, according to a report by Puck News.

The report came just hours before Collins was set to moderate a 90-minute town hall event with former President Donald Trump in New Hampshire as Trump seeks the GOP nomination for the 2024 presidential election.

The event, which is expected to be widely watched nationwide, will thrust the impressive 31-year-old CNN “It girl” into the spotlight, according to Puck News.

“Kaitlan’s offer is not contingent on her performance at tonight’s town hall, but, given the Trump X-factor, those 90 minutes have the potential to modify, accelerate, or stifle the arc of her career,” Puck News’ Dylan Byers told Mediatite.

“At the very least, her performance tonight will set the tone for a new Collins era at CNN, which, barring any fuck-ups, will run at least through the 2024 presidential election.”

She most recently anchored the 9 p.m. news hour last month. At that time, a source close to Collins denied to The Post that the move is a “trial run” to permanently helm the 9 p.m. show. However, another insider said, “Anything is possible.”

“I think it’s fair to say Chris Licht and leadership have been impressed,” said a source close to network boss Licht of the rising star, who had served as CNN’s youngest chief White House correspondent.

“She’s his favorite,” added another source, who said Collins has quickly become CNN’s “It girl,” much to the frustration of some network veterans including the since-fired Don Lemon.

Lemon notoriously screamed at Collins in December after he claimed he interrupted her during a tense broadcast of “CNN This Morning.” The incident rattled staff and upset higher-ups, including Licht who was reportedly appalled at Lemon’s behavior.

A Lemon confidant told The Post that he “didn’t like” the fact that Collins had worked for the conservative website The Daily Caller before joining CNN in 2017. Lemon was fired last month after 17 years at the network following a number of scandals, including accusations of sexism.

If Collins accepts the offer, she would fill the role previously held by Chris Cuomo.

Cuomo was fired by the struggling cable news outfit in late 2021 after it was learned he was helping his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, fight sexual harassment allegations made by ex-aides.
