Donald Trump says he will skip Monday’s Fox News Republican debate, saying “I think we’ve had enough debates.”
The decision comes hours after the GOP frontrunner called debate moderator and Fox News host Megyn Kelly “crazy” and “unwatchable” via Twitter.
“I won’t be there, no,” Trump announced during a telephone interview on Fox News’ morning show. “I thought the last debate on CNN was the last debate was going to be it.”
Trump decision could leave Fox News in an interesting predicament, with John Kasich and Ted Cruz being the only other GOP candidates remaining. Marco Rubio suspended his campaign after a disappointing performance in his home state of Florida.
Instead of attending the debate, Trump said he would be making a “major speech” at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference.
