Default Sen. Nugent? Motor City Madman mulls 2018 Senate run

Should Kid Rock decide to run for Senate in 2018 he may have some stiff competition.

Days after the Michigan Republican Party told Fox News that Rock would make an "awesome" candidate, right-wing guitar god Ted Nugent said he would consider running for the same seat.

"I'm always very interested in making my country and the great state of Michigan great again and there is nothing I wouldn't do to help in any way I possibly can," Nugent told The Daily Caller.

Unlike Nugent, Rock has not responded to rumors that he is considering running. According to RollCall.com, the "All Summer Long" singer is being eyed to run on the GOP ticket in his home state. A rep for the Michigan Republican Party told us that as far as she knows, no one has reached out to Rock, but she thinks it would be a great idea if someone did.

"I think [Kid Rock] would be awesome," Michigan GOP press officer Sarah Anderson told Fox News. "I wouldn't be surprised if there was a movement for him to run, but to my knowledge he has not been asked."

If Rock and Nugent both decide to run, the primary winner would face off against Democrat Senator Debbie Stabenow who has held her seat since 2000.

Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, told Rolling Stone in 2013 he considers himself more of a libertarian but has supported several Republican politicians, most recently throwing his support behind President Donald Trump. Nugent has also been outspoken about his politics also supporting Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
