Jack Schlossberg, son of JFK’s daughter Caroline Kennedy, has been circulating through word of mouth due to his pop culture post, social media antics, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

WASHINGTON – Jack Schlossberg, grandson of President John F. Kennedy, said he has taken formal steps to explore Congress’s run in New York.
In a social media post on September 7th, Schlossberg said he “formed an Exploration Committee,” and appears to be referring to possible legislative implementation from Manhattan.
The post comes days after Rep. Jerry Nadler, who now represents the district, announced he would not seek reelection.
Within 24 hours of announcing the launch of the Exploration Committee, Schlossberg came up with an idea on social media about 12 in New Yorkth Congressional districts covering much of Manhattan were able to fight President Donald Trump’s administration.
“New York is defending federal grants. Blue states pay everything, and fortunately, not that, but not anymore,” he writes, suggesting that the state will withhold tax revenues until residents “repay it.”
Among several other ideas, Schlossberg said New Yorkers should “say no to RFK losers,” and that his cousin, a key member of President Donald Trump’s cabinet, should withhold money until “bringing public health policies that NYC depends on.”
Notable members of the Kennedy family, including Schlossberg, recently called on RFK JR to resign from inauguration anti-vaccine movements and shooting high-level officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
During RFK Jr.’s recent Senate hearing, Schlossberg called his relatives “a threat to public health and American scientific leadership that pleases them by lying to Congress.”
Schlossberg, son of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, served as the trendy political correspondent in the 2024 presidential election. However, in recent years he has also emerged as a young voice in democratic politics, and has become a virus on social media due to his pop culture posts and attitudes.
For example, in April, he posted to X that he was giving birth to a baby with Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President JD Vance.
Nadler said in an interview with CNN that he didn’t think Schlossberg was a “primary candidate” and added that there are other serious candidates, including his former aide, state legislator Mika Rusher. Nadler, 78, was first elected to Congress in 1992.
