Jack Schlossberg Announces Run for U.S. House in New York
Jack Schlossberg, the 32-year-old grandson of John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy Onassis, announced his run for the U.S. House, aiming to represent a New York district currently held by Democrat Jerry Nadler. Schlossberg, a Democrat with a significant social media following, emphasized the need for a representative who can channel the district's creativity and energy into political power in Washington. He is known for his outspoken criticism of President Donald Trump and the Republican Party on social media. The 12th congressional district includes Manhattan's Upper West Side, Upper East Side, and midtown. Schlossberg, who has degrees from Yale and Harvard, will officially launch his campaign on Wednesday. He aims to address issues such as the cost of living, corruption, and the constitutional crisis under the Republican administration. His entry adds to a crowded field of candidates as Democrats aim to regain control of the House in the 2026 midterm elections.
