Sean Hannity hosts town hall with former President Donald Trump in Davenport

Several people waited in line outside the River Center in Davenport for the chance to see former President Donald Trump doing a town hall for Fox News.

DAVENPORT, Iowa — On Tuesday, several waited in line outside the River Center in Davenport, for the chance to see former President Donald Trump in an exclusive Town Hall event with Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity.

It's part of Trump's GOP nomination campaign and his way of pushing his supporters to come out to the Iowa caucus in January. 

Many of his supporters say they are excited about the caucus and wanted to come out and show their support for the former President. 

"I traveled 125 (miles) to be here," Mike Martin said. "Iowa is the first caucus for Republicans so this is our chance to come out and support our candidate. I hope everyone will take the opportunity to go out and vote for who they want to represent them. I know I will be." 

Scott County Republican Party Chair Jeanita McNulty says it's important to get people out to the caucus in January to support the next GOP candidate. 

"Anytime you could have a former president in your county, that's exciting," McNulty said. "What happens in Iowa really does lift the candidates on to the next level. So anytime you have a chance to play in that kind of game you need to, and the candidate that goes on to win makes a difference in the world. People in Scott County can have an effect on what goes on in the world and that's huge."

The fourth GOP Presidential Debate will be held Wednesday night in Alabama. Trump is not expected to participate in the event. 

If you didn't catch the action in person, the town hall will also air on the Fox News Channel from 8 to 9 p.m. Tuesday.
