24 days ago
In a moment that felt less like a political announcement and more like peak reality TV, Farrah Abraham—best known for 16 and Pregnant—declared she’s running for mayor of Austin, Texas, only to discover during a live interview that the election she was campaigning for doesn’t actually happen until 2028.
Yes, really.
The reveal unfolded in real time during a TMZ interview, where Abraham confidently explained her decision to jump into local politics—until reality jumped back.
TMZ: “The election’s not until 2028. Why so early?”
Abraham: “For some reason, the mayor election is in 2026...”
TMZ: “So, Farrah, we just got this in our ear, the election is in 2028… So I think you may have jumped the gun here.”
Abraham: “I love that I jumped the gun.”
And just like that, a mayoral campaign was born—three years ahead of schedule.
