WATCH LIVE: MSNBC airs town hall event with Donald Trump and 'Morning Joe' hosts

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will be the focus of a town hall event on Wednesday night led by MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

The event will compete directly with a similar town hall hosted by CNN featuring Trump's top rival for the GOP nomination, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), as well as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson.

Scarborough has come under recent criticism for showing "unashamed" support for Trump's candidacy, with CNN reporting that the relationship between the two was a cause for concern at the network.
