Kid Rock has become increasingly outspoken when it comes to his political beliefs over the years and even made a bold claim about Donald Trump claiming the former president sought his counsel. He took his political position one step further in July 2017 when he seemingly suggested he had plans to run for Senate. In a tweet on his account, Rock shared an image of a cartoon placard in the ground that read, "Kid Rock for US Senate." "I have had a ton of emails and texts asking me if this website is real ... kidrockforsenate.com," he wrote alongside the image. "The answer is an absolute YES." Twitter users did some sleuthing that suggested maybe it wasn't as legitimate as Rock made out, with one political reporter noting, "Robert James Ritchie (Kid Rock) hasn't filed any paperwork with the FEC yet. So, it's not really official yet."

In addition to setting up the website, Rock appeared to go pretty hard. Detroit Free Press reported he also sold merchandise featuring the slogan and made a politically motivated speech at his gigs.

Rock was then asked about what was really going on during an appearance on "The Howard Stern Show" in October 2017, where he admitted the whole thing was a joke. "F*** no, I'm not running for Senate. Are you f****** kidding me? Like, who couldn't f****** figure that out?" Well, it seems there were a few people who didn't as, in the modified words of Carrie Underwood, maybe next time he'll think before he tweets.
