A Kennedy Scion Loses in a Crowded, Pricey New York City Congressional Primary
The race drew heavy spending and competing endorsements as AI companies backed rival candidates and Democrats held a two-thirds voter edge.
- On Tuesday, Democratic Congressional Candidate Jack Schlossberg lost New York's 12th Congressional District primary to Assembly Member Micah Lasher in a closely watched Manhattan race.
- Artificial intelligence interests turned the campaign into an expensive proxy fight, flooding the district with mailers and ads against Alex Bores over his legislative record on regulation.
- Competing endorsements from Carolyn Maloney and Rep. Jerry Nadler split the field, while Schlossberg, the 33-year-old grandson of President John F. Kennedy, faced questions about his limited professional resume throughout the race.
- At his Manhattan watch party, Schlossberg reiterated that Democrats need candidates "who are willing to speak plainly about the cost of living, about corruption and fearlessly about the Constitution."
- Lasher is now well-positioned for the November general election to succeed the retiring Rep. Nadler, as Democrats make up two-thirds of the district's registered voters.
