Republican candidates make their final preparations for the first Republican debate of the 2024 Presidential Election hosted by FOX News Channel in Milwaukee, with the frontrunner and former President Donald Trump deciding that he will sit out of the debate.

Martha is joined by FOX News Channel Chief Political Anchor, Anchor and Executive Editor of Special Report With Bret Baier, host of the Bret Baier Podcast, and Co-Moderator of the first Republican Debate Bret Baier, as he discusses how he has prepared for the event.

Bret shares his thoughts on former President Trump's absence from the debate stage, and how the former President's impending surrender in his fourth criminal case in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday may be a move to draw attention away from other candidates.
