On Nov. 6, 2019, WeAreTheLLOD published an article positing that basketball legend Michael Jordan would be running for a seat in the U.S. Senate as a Republican.

"Michael Jordan is Running for U.S. Senate as a Republican"

Michael Jordan has been ruffling Democrat feathers ever since he came out in support of veterans over Colin Kaepernick. He left the Board of Directors of Nike, taking his anti-gravity juice for Air Jordans with him. The company lost $4 billion. Less than a month ago, Jordan changed his party affiliation. Democrats called him a racist. Now, to ice the cake of Democrat shame, Jordan will be running for the Senate in 2020 — as a Republican. He’ll run against sitting Democrat Senator Stuart Boll.
