JFK Grandson Jack Schlossberg Reported Considering NYC Congress Run

Jack Schlossberg, grandson of President John F. Kennedy, is considering a run for Congress to succeed retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler in New York's Manhattan district. Nadler, a longtime Democratic figure, announced he would not seek reelection in 2026, citing the need for generational change in the party. Schlossberg, 32, a Yale and Harvard graduate, is known for his social media presence and political commentary, and has publicly criticized his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Schlossberg has not held public office but has hinted at his interest in the seat, which is highly prized for its location and political significance. Other potential contenders include former Federal Trade Commissioner Lina Khan, state assemblyman Micah Lasher, and other notable figures. Nadler is expected to support Lasher, but the primary is expected to be competitive with several candidates considering bids.
