Musician Kid Rock appeared to confirm his run for the U.S. Senate in his home state of Michigan Thursday with a fiery Facebook message in which he blasted the media for “once again” being “wrong” about his potential candidacy and took a shot at incumbent Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
Rock had hinted at a potential run for Senate on Wednesday with the launch of a campaign website, kidrockforsenate.com. But some media outlets speculated that the website was a publicity stunt, as the only links on the site were to an online merchandise store with Rock-branded apparel run by Warner Bros. Records.
“Once again the press is wrong,” Rock wrote in Facebook post Thursday. “First of all, I’ve got 15 days from my announcement to file paperwork with the FEC! Second, I’m not signed to Warner Bros!!! – which simple fact-checking would have revealed.”
The 46-year-old rocker confirmed his bid to run for Senate and said he would release new music during his campaign, similar to how politicians release books during their own campaigns.
“I have recently worked out a unique deal with BMG, Broken Bow, CAA and Live Nation to release music ON MY TERMS. Like politicians write books during their campaigns, I’m planning on putting out music during mine and IT ALL STARTS TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT,” Rock said, defiantly adding: “It’s not a hoax, it’s a strategy and marketing 101! No plans for an album or anything else that has been the usual norm in the music business OR politics…..and…..”

Senator Kid Rock? Why Elizabeth Warren Is Calling Him the Next Trump By Aidan Quigley (http://www.newsweek.com/authors/aidan-quigley) On 7/14/17 at 10:45 AM
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, who is considered a potential 2020 presidential candidate, is warning Democrats that they shouldn’t take musician Kid Rock’s possible Senate bid too lightly.
“I know a lot of people are thinking: this is some sort of joke, right?,” she wrote in a fundraising email, as reported by the Boston Herald (http://www.bostonherald.com/news/us_politics/2017/07/liz_warren_sounds_fundraising_alarm_over_kid_rocks _potential_senate_run). “But we all thought Donald Trump was joking when he rode down the escalator at Trump Tower and announced his campaign, too.”
Robert Ritchie, the Michigan rocker known as Kid Rock, promised a “major announcement in the near future” on Twitter Wednesday night while confirming kidrockforsenate.com (https://www.kidrockforsenate.com/) was real. The website sells “Kid Rock for Senate 2018” merchandise and asks, “ARE YOU SCARED?” in large text.
