Who are Kaitlan Collins and Dylan Mulvaney? Why are they famous?

Collins is a 31-year-old journalist, who was born in Alabama. She is best known for being CNN's White House correspondant during Donald Trump's presidency.

She started off as a freelance reporter and writer. She later joined the news website, The Daily Caller, where she initially worked as an entertainment reporter. She was then positioned as their White House correspondant, a role she continued to hold, even after shifting to CNN in 2017.

Donald Trump and Kaitlan Collins have clashed on multiple occasions, including during an infamous instance where she was suspended from a White House press event in 2018. The suspension was for persistantly asking questions deemed "inappropriate" by the administration.

On Wednesday, Trump and Collins found themselves going head to head for the first time since he's been out of the White House. The two proved nothing has changed as Trump continued to clash with Collins on her persistant inqueries on his misshanding of classified material.

At one point, Trump snapped at Collins calling her "a nasty person." This remark elicited a round of applause from the crowd.

Collins is a graduate of Alabama University with a degree in journalism. She made the 2019 Forbes' 30 under 30 list for media and boasts an estimated net worth of $1 to $5 Million.

Mulvaney has a massive 10.8 million followers on TikTok and 1.8 million followers on Instagram. The last time Mulvaney was trending was in April 2023, when she was on the recieving end of a barrage of anti-trans hate as her sponsored advertisement with Bud Light received major backlash and even led to users boycotting the brand.

Mulvaney has gone viral yet again, not for any of her work, but rather for her striking resemblance to Kaitlan Collins.

Despite the supposed uncanny resemblance, Collins and Mulvaney are not related and have not collaborated or acknowledged each other in any instance.
