Posted online January 27, 2016 | 12:38 pm

"We'll have an event here in Iowa, with potentially another network, to raise money for wounded warriors," campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said. "And Fox will go from probably having 24 million viewers to about 2 million."

Fox also has accused the Trump campaign of verbally attacking and threatening Kelly.

Without Trump, Ted Cruz will take center stage. Cruz also challenged Trump to go mano a mano.
