An interview with Carlson, who exited Fox News earlier this year, would be a snub to the network, which is hosting Wednesday’s debate.
Trump has criticized the network in recent days for its coverage of his campaign. The people familiar spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss Trump’s planning.
Trump has threatened for months to boycott the debate, arguing that appearing onstage with his lower-polling rivals would only give those challengers a chance to attack him. He leads his nearest challenger, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis by 39 percentage points in a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.
“If someone’s not willing to do that, that just shows you,” he continued. “Their campaign’s more about them than the broader public and the American people.”
