American politics are about to go from bawitdabad to bawitdaworse, as self-proclaimed American badass and country-fried rap rocker Kid Rock has confirmed plans to run for the Senate.

What started as a ridiculous rumour earlier this year has just been confirmed by the man himself. Yes Kid Rock, who once declared "You Never Met a Motherfucker Quite Like Me," has confirmed plans to enter the already bonkers world of the U.S. Senate.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed a new website had launched at KidRockforSenate.com, and the performer took to Twitter to confirm that it's absolutely not a joke.
