Pelosi prepares support for Jack Schlossberg, grandson of JFK, for the House of Representatives
Former Speaker of the House plans to publicly support JFK's grandson in hotly contested New York primary
Nancy Pelosi is preparing to endorse Jack Schlossberg in his bid for a seat in the House of Representatives, a move that could weigh heavily in one of the most closely watched Democratic primaries in New York. According to CNN, a source close to the matter confirmed that the former Speaker of the House plans to publicly support the young candidate. Schlossberg, 33, is the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy and the son of Caroline Kennedy. His entry into the race marks a new chapter in the family's political history, as he becomes the first direct descendant of JFK to seek federal elected office. He is running for New York's 12th District, a seat with symbolic and political weight that was held for decades by Democrat Jerry Nadler. Although Pelosi will leave Congress at the end of her current term, her influence within the Democratic Party remains significant. CNN notes that the congresswoman did not respond to requests for comment on this potential endorsement, but in recent months she has made it clear that she continues to closely monitor the direction of her party and the figures who can strengthen it. Schlossberg has built an unconventional public presence for a congressional candidate. He has become known for his spontaneous videos on social media and for a direct style that seeks to connect with young voters. In interviews with the aforementioned media outlet, he has said that he understands the logic of vertical communication and that this can help him mobilize new generations. His discourse focuses on Democratic renewal, issues of cost of living, and economic opportunities. He has also been critical of President Donald Trump and has argued that the party needs to regain a majority in the House of Representatives. At the same time, he has distanced himself from his cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now linked to the Trump administration, whom he has publicly questioned.
