Washington – Donald Trump’s campaign has formally announced plans to host a special event at the same time as Thursday’s presidential debate.
The move follows the Republican front-runner’s promise to boycott the Fox News debate. He’s been upset with Fox over what he calls unfair treatment from debate moderator Megyn Kelly and a sarcastic tweet from the network.
The campaign issued an advisory Wednesday night with details for what it’s calling a special event.
Just as the prime-time debate begins Thursday at 9 p.m. EST, Trump is scheduled to appear at Drake University in Des Moines at an event the campaign says will benefit veterans.
The appearance will be just two miles from where his Republican rivals gather for the debate.
