Kate Bolduan

Some of Bolduan's ancestors arrived in America in 1912.

They came from a small town called Chênée in Belgium.

Leon Emile Rousselle (Bolduan's great-great-grandfather) arrived in the United States aboard the SS Kroonland.

Two months later, his pregnant wife Louise Labhaye Rousselle and his two-year-old daughter travelled to the U.S. aboard the SS Lapland (which returned some survivors – mainly crew members – of the Titanic catastrophe to England).

Katherine Jean Bolduan (born July 28, 1983) is an American broadcast journalist and news anchor for CNN based in New York City.

She is currently a co-anchor of CNN News Central, and previously anchored State of America with Kate Bolduan, New Day and At This Hour with Kate Bolduan.

She also served as a congressional correspondent based in Washington, D.C., as well as a general assignment correspondent for the network.

A native of Goshen, Indiana, she is the third of four daughters born to Dr. Jeffrey Bolduan, and to Nadine Bolduan, a nurse.

Her mother is of Belgian heritage.

Kate Bolduan was educated at Goshen High School, a public high school in her home city, followed by George Washington University, from which she graduated Phi Beta Kappa and summa cum laude in 2005, with a bachelor's degree in journalism and a minor in political science.

During her time at the university, she walked on to the women's volleyball team and acted with the student theatre organization.

During her studies, she spent time in Madrid, Spain where she learned to speak Spanish.

From 2005 to 2007, Bolduan worked as a general assignment reporter for WTVD-TV in Durham, North Carolina.

She then became a production assistant for NBC News and MSNBC in Washington D.C.

She has worked at House & Garden magazine, Dateline NBC and NBC Nightly News.

Bolduan began her tenure in 2007 at CNN as a national correspondent for CNN Newsource.

She provided breaking news coverage and feature reports for a large number of CNN Newsource affiliates.

During her time there, she most notably covered the 2008 United States presidential election and traveled throughout the United States covering other news making headlines including the Minneapolis Bridge collapse, the O. J. Simpson armed robbery case, and the retiring NASA Space Shuttle fleet.

She famously was part of CNN's misreporting on the Supreme Court "Obamacare" decision on June 28, 2012 (https://www.mediaethicsmagazine.com/index.php/browse-back-issues/144-fall-2012/3998657-case-speed-kills-cnns-ethical-missteps-covering-scotus-obamacare-decision) and her future was uncertain at the time.

However, CNN immediately made her co-anchor with Wolf Blitzer.

Bolduan was previously co-anchor of The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer before moving to New York.

Alongside Wolf Blitzer, she provided current events, breaking news, political headlines, and reports within lively discussions during the two-hour program.

New Day is a weekday morning television show on CNN.

New Day replaced Starting Point, formerly anchored by Soledad O'Brien, which had aired since January 2, 2012.

It premiered on June 17, 2013, and airs from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. ET, originating from CNN's Time Warner Center studios in New York City.

In 2014, Bolduan made a television feature documentary titled Kate Bolduan's Roots.

Bolduan joined CNN's new morning show, @This Hour, which premiered on January 26, 2015, alongside John Berman.

At This Hour covered various news stories of the day with co-hosts Kate Bolduan and John Berman.

At This Hour aired weekdays from 11 a.m. to noon ET, and was broadcast live from CNN's New York Studios in Manhattan.

Bolduan was named anchor of State of America with Kate Bolduan, a CNN International program which covered the 2016 U.S. Presidential campaign for a global audience.

Following the election, the program was renamed and pivoted to focusing on U.S. news and affairs.

The show aired Fridays at 23:00 CET from CNN's New York studios in Manhattan.

During the first ten minutes of the show Bolduan discussed the daily news.

Following a commercial break a panel, typically consisting of four journalists and analysts from various backgrounds, discussed current affairs.

On February 6, 2017, Berman moved to 9 a.m. to co-host CNN Newsroom and Bolduan took over as the sole host of the show as it changed name to At This Hour.

The show was eventually removed from the CNN lineup but returned in April 2021.

The focus of the show is on daily events with correspondents sending their on-site live reports into the studio.

At This Hour also presents moderated live interviews and discussions with guests in the studio or via teleconference.

On April 3, 2023, she joined the program's successor, CNN News Central, alongside Berman and Sara Sidner.

The last Episode was aired September 20, 2019.
