Instead, Robert Ritchie would probably have to use his real name and not his stage name.
Quote of the Day
“I will say this: he will be very busy with his concert tour and he’s got a big primary so I will wait to see who comes out of the primary.”
— Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), quoted by WZZM, sounding somewhat skeptical about Kid Rock’s (R) U.S. Senate bid.
Kid Rock Running for U.S. Senate
Kid Rock has announced his bid for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, Fox News reports.
From a statement on his website: “Like politicians write books during their campaigns, I’m planning on putting out music during mine and it all starts tonight at midnight.”
He then responded to a tweet from Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI): “Senator Stabenow and I do share a love of music, although probably not the same kind. I concede she is better at playing politics than I am so I’ll keep doing what I do best, which is being a voice for tax paying, hardworking Americans and letting politicians like her know that We the People are sick and tired of their bullshit!”
New Yorker: Kid Rock’s Senate run is a terrifying new normal.
