Gerhrke also touched on Kid Rock’s potential to receive support from people who may not identify as Republicans or Democrats, due to the Senate race’s open primary. This is also a notable parallel to Donald Trump, who was able to employ a similar strategy during last year’s Presidential election. Believe it or not, voters are becoming more and more receptive to ‘outsider’ candidates. President Trump is a prime example of this. The 2016 Presidential election truly marked the downfall of politicians who many would consider to be insiders. Outsiders like Kid Rock resonate with American voters.
Quite frankly, Senator Kid Rock would be amazing. America needs more unorthodox and unique politicians in office. Perhaps the rise of outsiders will engender the end of the unbelievable amount of corruption and lack of progress existing in government. Kid Rock’s lead over Stabenow just serves as proof that Michigan voters are seeking a fresh face. Stabenow is the epitome of your typical politician. There was a time when voters desired the “norm” in government, but that is no longer the case.
