Several Democratic presidential candidates are interested in doing their own versions of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) wildly popular town hall Monday night on Fox News, The Daily Beast reported Tuesday. According to sources, candidates interested in similar events on on Fox News include South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio). Aides for the Swallwell and Ryan campaigns both told The Daily Beast that their candidates are “willing” to host a town hall on Fox News and have been in touch with the the conservative-leaning network about next steps. An aide for the Buttigieg campaign said the mayor is already in talks to secure the event. He is the first Democratic candidate in this election cycle to participate in such an event on Fox News.
