Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley is seen in a new video wearing pedestrian clothes and playing acoustic guitar for tips on Wall Street.

“Excuse me,” says O’Malley in the IJReview video, navigating a crowd this week in New York while clad in jeans and a black shirt from the Baltimore-based Under Armour.

The video was intended to bring attention to the influence of big money in politics, something O’Malley has pushed back on during his White House bid.

O’Malley, who has played in a Celtic rock band and at campaign events, made $1.74 and a pack of gummy bears in the span of an hour, according to IJReview.

He has just 2 percent support in the RealClearPolitics average of polls.
