Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is anticipated to formally endorse Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy, in the upcoming Democratic primary for New York’s 12th Congressional District. A source confirmed this development to CBS News, highlighting that the endorsement has been under consideration for several weeks but has yet to be announced publicly.
Jack Schlossberg, 33, is the son of Caroline Kennedy and first cousin to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. He announced his candidacy in November, entering a competitive race to succeed the retiring Representative Jerry Nadler. Schlossberg’s campaign is notable for its progressive stance and substantial engagement through social media, particularly aimed at resonating with younger voters, a demographic he reached out to during President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 election campaign.
The contest for the seat in New York’s affluent and predominantly Democratic 12th District, which covers areas like Manhattan’s Midtown, Upper East Side, and Upper West Side, is crowded with Democratic hopefuls. Among them are state Assemblymen Alex Bores and Micah Lasher, as well as attorney George Conway and journalist Jami Floyd.
If successful, Schlossberg would join a significant family legacy as at least the seventh member of the Kennedy family to serve in the United States Congress. This budding political career carries forward the Kennedy tradition of public service, a legacy cherished by many within the Democratic Party.
The news about Pelosi’s potential endorsement was first covered by The New York Times, generating considerable anticipation in political circles.
