Clay Aiken has made the rumor into a reality:
He is running for Congress in North Carolina.
Ten and a half years ago, Clay Aiken rose to fame by winning America's votes. In 2014, he may try to court them again, this time at the ballot box.
Only one district of North Carolina will decide the winner of this contest, though, if he decides to enter it: Clay is considering running for U.S. Congress.
Next year will mark a decade since Clay Aiken finished second on American Idol.
