Trump to skip Fox News debate on Thursday

At odds with Fox News Channel, Donald Trump is skipping Thursday's GOP debate.

"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."

Trump's issue is said to be with Fox News host Megyn Kelly, who challenged him during Fox's first debate in August. She'll be a moderator in Thursday's debate.

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.
