Trump sat down with Baier last June, where the former president opened up about everything from his handling of classified documents, his former Cabinet members who oppose his return to the White House, and the ongoing war in Ukraine. 

Baier and MacCallum also co-moderated the first Republican presidential primary debate in Milwaukee last year, which averaged 13 million viewers and is the most-watched debate of the 2024 cycle to date.

"Hannity," which usually airs in the 9 p.m. ET time slot, will be preempted on the night of the Trump town hall. 

Earlier on Tuesday, Fox News Digital learned that House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., is endorsing Trump for president.

"When Donald Trump was President, American workers and families were thriving," Scalise said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.

The Republican leader's endorsement comes as Trump, the current GOP frontrunner for the 2024 nomination, faces attempts from several states to remove him from their primary ballots.
