US EditionNancy Pelosi to endorse Jack Schlossberg, JFK’s grandson, for US House seat
Pelosi’s endorsement highlights Schlossberg’s Kennedy legacy and reform message in a 14-candidate race for a Manhattan House seat being vacated by Jerry Nadler.
- The New York Times reported Nancy Pelosi is set to endorse Jack Schlossberg in the Manhattan primary, where he is running for Congress.
- With 14 contenders, the Democratic primary for New York's 12th Congressional District is crowded as Schlossberg announced his run last November and the seat is vacated by retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler.
- Schlossberg, 33, has used viral social videos to raise his profile; in a campaign video, he criticized President Donald Trump and emphasized affordability, saying his vertical-video skills help him reach younger voters.
- Nancy Pelosi, though retiring, has not responded to CNN and recently criticized colleagues after nearly half of House Oversight Committee Democrats voted to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt, last month.
- The race highlights Kennedy family dynamics and public rebukes of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with Schlossberg reportedly calling his cousin 'a loser' and aligning with the young progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
