It's been a busy week for Baier and McCollum, who co-hosted a town hall with former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley on Monday and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday. . Trump's event marks the third night in a row that Fox News Channel will host a town hall with the Republican presidential candidate.
Mr. Baier and Mr. McCollum also co-moderated the first Republican presidential primary debate in Milwaukee last year. The debate averaged 13 million viewers, making it the most-watched debate so far in the 2024 cycle.
The latest Iowa polls show President Trump's approval rating at more than 50%, putting him miles ahead of DeSantis and Haley, who are running for second place. But Trump, who had missed the first four Republican presidential primary debates and had until recently been keeping a light schedule campaigning in Iowa and early voting states, was able to hold on to his large lead. Not that there is.
“FOX News Saturday Night with Jimmy Failla” is scheduled to begin airing on January 13th.

“The poll numbers are scary because we're so far ahead,” President Trump told supporters at a rally in Waterloo, Iowa, just before Christmas. “After Iowa, we can put this to bed. We have to make sure we get this done. … You have to show up, even if we think we're going to win by a wide margin. You have to show up. It must be done.”
Trump's campaign began operations in earnest several weeks ago, training nearly 2,000 caucus leaders in precincts across the state.
Trump met with Baier last June, and the former president opened up about everything from his handling of classified documents to his opposition to returning to the White House and the ongoing war in Ukraine.
