Farrah Abraham, the 34-year-old former 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom reality television star, has officially entered Texas politics, though her debut was marred by a significant chronological hurdle.
After filing paperwork with the Austin City Clerk on 14 January for the office of 'Mayor,' Abraham was forced into a live 'pivot' on national television. During an interview on TMZ Live, anchors informed the reality star that Austin's mayoral seat—currently held by Kirk Watson—is not up for election until 2028, due to a 2021 voter proposition that aligned the race with presidential election years.
