Donald Trump will “most likely” not participate in the Fox News debate Thursday, the Republican poll leader announced on Tuesday.
“Most likely I’m not gonna do the debate,” Trump said during a press conference in Iowa. “I don’t know what games Roger Ailes is playing.”
Trump, who was speaking to reporters in Marshalltown before a rally, said that he may have a separate event to raise funds for wounded warriors instead.
“Why should the networks continue getting rich on the debates?” he asked.
Trump’s pronouncement came after he released a Twitter poll questioning whether he should attend the debate this week, which elicited thousands of responses — including one from Fox News.
“Megyn Kelly’s really biased against me,” Trump says in an Instagram video posted Tuesday. “She knows that. I know that. Everybody knows that. Do you really think that she can be fair at a debate?”
