Report: GOP Sees Opening for Kid Rock to Run for Congress

-

With a brutal primary expected and no favorite yet in 's 5th Congressional District, some Republicans are rallying behind another candidate.

That candidate happens to be one of the world's most successful recording artists. His name is Robert James Ritchie, but you know him as .

Members of are trying to recruit Rock to run following GOP infighting between two MAGA-aligned candidates. (RELATED: Some of President Trump's Biggest Supporters Aren't Happy With His Latest Endorsement)

POLITICO first reported the news, saying that “some MAGA members of Congress” are pushing Rock to run given that he calls Nashville home.

Rock has remained in contact with since Trump left the White House. The singer-songwriter recently released a new single entitled “We the People,” that goes after President and Dr. Anthony Fauci. (RELATED: Fauci Cleared of Hatch Act Violation Days Before 2020 Election)

WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE

POLITICO adds:

In 2018, Rock was accused (but ultimately cleared) of violating campaign law when he promoted “Kid Rock for U.S. Senate” without ever filing to run for office with the FEC. Rock joked to a source who's recruiting him that he's open to considering a House run because his faux campaign for Senate was so successful in selling concert tickets. Rock would be naturally positioned for a Trump endorsement — mainly because he's famous — but the former president just endorsed former State Department spokesperson  for the same seatthis week. Another wrinkle to all this: Alex Isenstadt reports that the MAGA wing of the party is outraged over Trump's decision to endorse Ortagus over Trump die-hard .

Coincidentally, Rock spoke to Trump by phone on Wednesday. Although the impetus for the call was Rock's new song.

  1. At the end of the day no matter what side of the Isle ones on, The good guys are simply sick & tired of the FAKE Biden administration corruption, Big Pharma medical tyranny and the demonic Globalist IN YOUR FACE crimes against humanity. None of these demons from obama to the Clinton cartel to Barisma Bidens are being held accountable. The double standard is a TRAVESTY! Time for the good guys to fight fire with fire.

  2. Although I like some of the “Kid’s” music and feel a lot as he does in the song “We the People” I do not believe that he should run for any public office. I base that simply on the language used in the song. It does render well with Parents who are raising our next leaders as it is not the role model we need for the future. I do think he is doing what is best for all of us who desire OUR freedoms back. His best help is in the arena of inspiring younger Americans to realize what the FAR INSANE left are trying to do by using the China Lab Virus (mistake or intential) to change our country. Hope the Jiffy Lube Concert comes to it’s senses so I can see you in August in Virginia.

  3. If all the democrat octogenarians like Pelosi and Waters, commies too, I might add, can run for the House, why not Kid Rock? If a moron like AOC can have a following and dream of being the first Female Democratic Socialist president of the United States, why not Kid Rock? Worse then him are already serving in the House Progressive Caucus, to destroy America, can’t Kid Rock, buck this trend? As long as that useless Adam Schiff is in the Congress, no one can say a thing about any conservative candidate, Schiff, what a lying, a’sswipe.
