Donald Trump To Do Fox News Town Hall The Night Before Next Republican Debate

Former President Donald Trump will take part in a Fox News town hall on Tuesday, one night before the next Republican debate that he is expected to skip.

Sean Hannity will host the pre-taped event, which will be held in Davenport, IA. Hannity moderated Thursday night’s debate between California Governor Gavin Newsom and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the latter one of Trump’s main rivals for the GOP nomination. The town hall will start at 9 p.m. ET.

Trump is expected to once again skip the next debate, to be held on Wednesday and hosted by NewsNation, the upstart cable news channel. The debate will be moderated by Elizabeth Vargas, Megyn Kelly and Eliana Johnson, and it will feature a much slimmed down field compared to the first gathering of the GOP candidates in August. Nikki Haley, DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy are likely to be on the stage, but it is unclear whether Chris Christie will qualify.
