SALT LAKE CITY – The GOP presidential primary debate has been canceled after candidates Donald Trump and John Kasich announced that they would not be attending.

“How many times can the same people ask you the same question? So I was very surprised when I heard that Fox called for a debate. Nobody told me about it and I won’t be there, no,” Trump said in a telephone interview on Fox & Friends.

Trump said he was already scheduled to give a speech for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

He added,“I will say this. I will say this. I think we’ve had enough debates. We’ve had 11 or 12 debates. I did really well in the last one. I think I’ve done well in all the debates. I mean, according to Drudge and everybody else, I won the debates.”

Trump swept the March 15 primaries and has 621 delegates.
