Fox News will host a pair of town halls next week with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley as they look to challenge former President Trump for the Republican nomination for president in 2024.

The town halls, which will both air live and be broadcast from Des Moines, Iowa, will feature Haley on Jan. 8 and DeSantis on Jan. 9.

Each will air from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and be moderated by Fox anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.

The town hall events will be focused on women’s issues, the network said.

The two forums come just days before the fifth Republican presidential primary debate on CNN on Jan. 10, which only Trump, DeSantis and Haley have qualified for.

Trump will skip the GOP debate next week and instead participate in a town hall of his own at the same time, also airing on Fox and moderated by Baier and MacCallum.

DeSantis and Haley both trail Trump by double digits in the GOP primary.
