Five days before the event is due to take place, the ex-president is not planning to show up, in what could be construed as hostility towards Murdoch’s flagship Fox.
: Donald Trump is set to skip the first Republican presidential primary debate and steal the spotlight from his rivals by instead appearing in a one-on-one interview with axed Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
But to qualify, candidates have until Monday night to meet the Republican National Committee’s rules, which include getting at least 1 per cent in two national polls and at least 40,000 unique donors, as well as signing a pledge to support the person who eventually wins the nomination at next year’s primaries.
But various US media outlets reported on Friday that he would, in fact, skip the first debate and was strongly considering sitting down for an online interview with Carlson instead.
But while Trump seems determined to snub the first Republican debate of the season, he is also notorious for changing plans at the last minute and loves the limelight, so insiders caution that a surprise appearance may not be out of the question.
