Jack Schlossberg, the nephew of former president John F. Kennedy, announced on Tuesday his candidacy as the Democratic representative for a district in New York for the 2026 elections. In a speech posted on social media, Schlossberg, at the age of 32, highlighted the crises facing the United States, including the rising cost of living and corruption. He described President Trump as 'a dangerous man' who threatens the civil rights of citizens. Schlossberg warned of the risk of a 'third term' for Trump, emphasizing the importance of Democrats taking control of Congress. The son of former ambassador Caroline Kennedy, Schlossberg was educated at Yale and Harvard and has an active presence on social media. The position he is targeting is currently held by Jerry Nadler, who will retire after a long career in Congress. Schlossberg is a supporter of socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani, and Robert Kennedy Jr., the Secretary of Health in the Trump administration, is his cousin.
