You'll note that despite the fact that the media is calling that a confirmation, it only confirms that the "website is real." Nowhere does he say he's running. Then we got this:I have had a ton of emails and texts asking me if this website is real… https://t.co/RRVgISDFeq The answer is an absolute YES. pic.twitter.com/uYCUg6mjW1

I guess the thought of Kid Rock launching a Senatorial bid falls into the "too good to check" category. Even Debbie Stabenow issued a statement:.@KidRock confirms #Michigan Senate runhttps://t.co/dGv5iOPk3G

I know we both share a love of music. I concede he's better at playing guitar and I'll keep doing what I do best: fighting for Michigan. https://t.co/CUaGqPu7AB

“This afternoon, Kid Rock tweeted out that he was going to have a big announcement and hinted that he was going to challenge me for the U.S. Senate. We don’t know if this is real or just a publicity stunt. ...But after Donald Trump’s surprising win last year, we need to act fast. Will you donate $5 right now to help me raise what I need to fight back?”Look, if I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it. We live in a political world gone mad so, if Kid Rock surprises everyone by taking a genuine stab at a political career, I'll be happy to eat my words. I doubt I'll have to. More likely, we'll soon get an announcement that "Kid Rock's new album, titled 'Kid Rock for Senate' will be released" on such-and-such a date. Would it be fun to watch a scruffy Michigan rapper take on the "Dangerously Incompetent" Debbie Stabenow? Absolutely. Will it happen? Doubtful.
