CEDAR RAPIDS - Fox News will host its second Republican presidential debate Jan. 28 - four days before the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses - in Des Moines.
The two-hour debate will be presented live from the Iowa Events Center beginning at 8 p.m. on Fox News as well as on the network's other platforms, including Fox News Radio, Fox News Mobile and FoxNews.com. Fox's first Republican primary debate Aug. 6 was seen by a record-breaking 24 million viewers and was the highest-rated non-sports cable broadcast of all time.
The debate will be moderated by 'Special Report” anchor Bret Baier, 'The Kelly File” anchor Megyn Kelly and 'Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace.
The criteria for candidate entry to the debate will be announced closer to the date.
