"Trump, Haley, and DeSantis Face Off in Dueling Town Halls and Debates Ahead of Iowa Caucuses"

Nikki Haley, a Republican presidential candidate, has publicly challenged former President Donald Trump to participate in an upcoming CNN debate, emphasizing the difficulty for him to avoid such events as the number of qualifying candidates dwindles. Despite meeting the criteria for the debate alongside Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Trump has opted to hold a town hall on Fox News on the same night, citing his polling lead as a reason to skip past debates.
