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 [[I-35W Mississippi River bridge collapse|Minneapolis Bridge collapse]], the [[O.&nbsp;J. Simpson]] armed robbery case, and the retiring NASA [[Space Shuttle]] fleet. She famously was part ofdelivered CNN's initial misreporting on the [[National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebelius|Supreme Court's decision to uphold "Obamacare" decision]] on June 28, 2012, and her future at the network seemed uncertain at the time.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Stelter |first=Brian |date=2012-06-29 |title=CNN and Fox Trip Up in Rush to Get the News on the Air (Published 2012) |url=https://www.mediaethicsmagazinenytimes.com/index.php2012/browse06/29/us/cnn-backand-issues/144foxs-fallsupreme-court-mistake.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120629161622/http://www.nytimes.com/2012/399865706/29/us/cnn-caseand-speedfoxs-killssupreme-cnnscourt-ethicalmistake.html |archive-misstepsdate=2012-covering06-scotus29 |access-obamacaredate=2024-decision)03-12 and|work=[[The herNew futureYork wasTimes]] uncertain at the time.|language=en}}</ref> However, CNN immediately made her co-anchor with Wolf Blitzer.
