Kid Rock confirms that he’s running for senate in Michigan. Bawitdaba.

Rock/rap/country artist Kid Rock confirmed yesterday that he is running for a Michigan Senate seat.

Kid Rock sent the internet into a little bit of a frenzy after tweeting that he had “a major announcement in the near future,” and speculation immediately grew that the musician was running for office.

Then Mr. Rock confirmed that indeed he was running for Senate.

A quick look at his website shows no actual policy (lol) that Rock would implement, but he does have some damn catchy slogans and merch ready.

Slogans include “Pimp of the Nation” (hmm); “Party to the People” (ok?); “Welcome to the Party” (Kid Rock running on that infamous party platform); “You Never Met a Politician Quite Like Me” (oh no); “Get in the Senate and Try to Help Someone” (I just punched my computer screen).

If you’re unfamiliar with some of Kid Rock’s work, let me introduce to you the seminal piece of art known simply as “Bawitdaba.”

Bawitdaba indeed, Bawitdaba indeed.

If Rock lands on the ballot in November 2018, the Michigan native will be running against Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a Democrat who has held the seat since 2000.

Speaking to EW, Stabenow had a rather tongue-in-cheek response to Kid Rock’s announcement,

“I know we both share a love of music. I concede he is better at playing the guitar, and I’ll keep doing what I do best, which is fighting for Michigan.”

But, according to various political reporters, Kid Rock has yet to file the necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

There are actual guidelines to running for government, you can’t just run on a bunch of hats and slogans (although “Pimp of a Nation” is pretty irresistible).

An ardent backer of Donald Trump, Kid Rock has spoken out about his support of gun rights and his disdain for PC culture. Kid Rock visited the White House with Sarah Palin and Ted Nugent back in April.

God help us all if Kid Rock becomes a United States Senator.
