FOX News Cancels Televised Forum With Candidates for Speaker of the House
FOX News was planning to hold a televised forum with three candidates running to replace Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House but the event was cancelled shortly after it was announced.
Members of the House GOP were not thrilled with the idea and the candidates eventually pulled out.
This was probably a smart move.

Televised Fox News Speaker forum called off after candidates pull out
Plans for a televised Fox News forum with three contenders for House Speaker fell apart soon after they were announced.
Host Bret Baier was slated to have House Majority Leader Scalise (R-La.), House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Republican Study Committee Chairman Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) for a Monday event that Fox News billed as a “joint interview” rather than a debate.
