Fox News Channel To Host Town Halls On Women's Issues


FOX News Channel (FNC) will host two live town halls with presidential candidates Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley focused on women’s issues in Des Moines, Iowa from 6-7 PM/ET on January 8th and 9th. 

Airing on Special Report, chief political anchor Bret Baier and The Story anchor and executive editor Martha MacCallum will co-moderate the town halls with Ambassador Haley appearing on January 8th and Gov. DeSantis on January 9th. Each candidate will take questions from Baier and MacCallum in front of a live audience.

In August 2023, Baier and MacCallum co-moderated the first Republican Presidential Primary debate in Milwaukee which featured Gov. DeSantis and Ambassador Haley, as well as Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Gov. Doug Burgum, Vivek Ramaswamy, former Vice President Mike Pence, and Asa Hutchinson. 

Viewed by 13 million people, the debate was the most-watched of the 2024 election cycle and the highest-rated non-sports telecast of the year. Baier and MacCallum have also both hosted Gov. DeSantis and Ambassador Haley on their respective programs since they announced their campaigns for president. MacCallum also conducted a dual interview with Gov. DeSantis and his wife Casey in December.
