This isn’t the first time the Arkansas reality-show family has endorsed a candidate. Duggar family to campaign with Akin

Missouri senatorial candidate Todd Akin will have the support of TLC’s “19 Kids & Counting” Duggar family on the campaign trail this week.

The Duggar family will attend a series of fundraisers and rallies beginning Tuesday for the GOP candidate, who is up against Democratic incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.


It’s not the first time the Arkansas reality-show family has endorsed a candidate. In March, during the Republican primaries, they endorsed former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.

Akin has been pressured to withdraw from the race by Democrats and GOP-ers alike after his false remarks about a woman’s body preventing pregnancy in cases of “ legitimate rape.”
