John F. Kennedy's grandson Jack Schlossberg is running for Congress
- On Nov. 11, Jack Schlossberg launched a campaign to replace retiring New York Rep. Jerry Nadler in New York's 12th congressional district.
- Schlossberg had previously signaled interest by polling his nearly 1.5 million social followers, and if elected, he would be the first Kennedy to run for Congress since Joe Kennedy III.
- With nearly 1.5 million followers, Jack Schlossberg boasts strong digital influence and is seen by Gen Z as a rising star known for peculiar humor and a viral post about a baby with Usha Vance.
- Nadler told CNN `there's nothing particularly good or bad about a Kennedy holding my seat` and said `I don't think he's going to be a candidate in the end, and he certainly is not going to be a major candidate` as he distanced himself from Schlossberg's campaign.
- Several candidates are already running in the 12th district, including Micah Lasher, Alan Pardee, and Liam Elkind, while Chelsea Clinton has declined and Schlossberg is estranged from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
