Donald Trump made news by skipping the GOP Fox News debate, instead holding his own event in Des Moines.

The Iowa caucuses are just a few days away, and presidential candidates are making their final pushes before the primary season begins.

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump did not attend the Fox News debate last night and instead hosted his own event in Des Moines.

Host Frank Stasio talks with political junkie Ken Rudin about the latest.
