Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst says he is running. He made the claim in a video posted Nov. 7 on a new Instagram account called @votedurst. What is he running for? He never said. No office, no election, no year.
“Well, just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse, it’s time to vote Durst. I want to get to the bottom of all this … I’m running,” Fred Durst said in the Instagram video.
The account’s bio reads, “My name is Fred Durst and I want to make our world a better place… so, I’m running.” Neither the profile nor the video names an office, and no source has reported that Durst filed paperwork to seek one.
So what is the post? It could be a political push, a promotion, or a joke. Durst and the band have not said what the campaign means, and nobody has tied it to a new Limp Bizkit release.
Guitarist Wes Borland said in June 2026 that the band planned to head into the studio in August to write songs. “We’ve got some ammo to go in,” Wes Borland told Gear4Music after he and Fred Durst listened to riffs from a writing session last year.
