Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump said two other candidates want in on his counter-programming to Fox News’ GOP debate Thursday night.

He tweeted:

Trump did not name the candidates he said reached out about participating in the event, which he said would raise money for veterans groups.

After saying he would boycott the Fox debate over concerns moderator Megyn Kelly would treat him “unfairly,” Trump announced a Thursday evening event at Drake University in Iowa, scheduled to begin the same time as the GOP debate.
