Politics Odds: US Senate Specials f. Kid Rock (w. Caitlyn Jenner)

Anything can happen in American politics – including Kid Rock running for Senate. The rap-rock musician and former husband to Pamela Anderson is an unabashed supporter of Donald Trump, and he’s voiced his interest in running as a Republican in 2018 for his native state of Michigan. Will he do it? No is the –180 favorite, with Yes priced at +150.

Kid Rock is definitely playing up his interest. He even had “Kid Rock for US Senate” T-shirts on sale during last week’s venue-opening concert at the new Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. However, a poll released Wednesday shows him trailing Senator Debbie Stabenow (D) by 18 points in a potential head-to-head matchup. If Mr. Rock (birth name: Robert Richie) does decide to run, he’s a +450 underdog to unseat the three-term incumbent.


Also pondering a Senate run: Caitlyn Jenner. The former gold-medal Olympic decathlete (as Bruce Jenner), who’s also a staunch Republican, has floated the idea of running in California, where she maintains a residence in Malibu. However, Jenner hasn’t had much to say about a possible campaign in recent weeks, and she’s listed at +240 to make a run for Senate in 2018.



Politics Odds: Will Kid Rock Run for Senate? And Will He Win?

Is Kid Rock serious about running for US Senate in 2018? He’s milking a potential run for all its worth, selling “Kid Rock for US Senate” T-shirts at his concerts. But at press time, Kid Rock (born Robert Richie) is a +150 underdog to mount an official campaign.

If Kid Rock does run in his native state of Michigan, he’ll be hard-pressed to defeat the three-term incumbent, Senator Debbie Stabenow (D). Recent polls have Stabenow ahead by 18 points in a possible one-on-one showdown. That leaves Kid Rock as a +450 underdog to win a Senate seat in 2018.
