Sen. Bernie Sanders will take part in a Fox News town hall on Monday, the network announced.

Fox News anchor Bret Baier will moderate the hour-long special at 6 p.m., with an audience of Michigan voters at a theater in Detroit. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was invited to attend as well, but Fox News said Clinton declined citing scheduling conflicts.

Fox has been on a mission to get Clinton to appear on its airwaves. She was last on the network in 2014 interviewed by Baier and Greta van Susteren. "Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace challenged Clinton to come on his show last month, posting photos of some of her top aides as part of a bid to get them to answer his phone calls and emails.

In an interview on Tuesday, Wallace said the segment worked in getting the campaign to respond, and that they said they'd try to make something work in March.

"I have a healthy skepticism [it will happen] but I'm perfectly willing to take yes for an answer," Wallace said.

We've reached out to the Clinton campaign for comment and will update here accordingly.

CORRECTION: Correction: The town hall will take place at 6p.m., not 7 p.m.
