Will Chelsea Clinton and Jack Schlossberg run for Congress?

Chelsea Clinton’s team has denied reports that Kennedy’s heir Jack Schlossberg is planning to race to replace retired New York lawmaker Jerry Nadler as heir is considering a run.

A spokesman for former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 45-year-old daughter, told USA Today on September 3 that he was “not thinking about running.” Comments come two days after 78-year-old Nadler announced he will be reopening his seat on Monday, September 1st.

Clinton previously gave him the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of his parents. When he appeared in “The View” in October 2019, Clinton told the panel that he “isn’t considered running” to replace former lawmakers of Nita Lowey, the New York Congressional District in 2020.

In recent years, Clinton, who was once the same vein NBC correspondent as his original first child, Jenna Bush Hager, has instead focused on global health advocacy and authoring books, with or without mothers.

Meanwhile, former President John F. Kennedy’s only grandson, Schlossberg, is considering a run in the 12th Congressional District, including parts of New York City.

Schlossberg, a 32-year-old social media influencer who is Caroline Kennedy’s son, told the New York Times on Tuesday, September 2nd that his candidacy was “certainly a possibility.”

He will be the first Kennedy family to run for Congress since Joe Kennedy III left the U.S. House seat in Massachusetts and launched a major challenge to progressive senator Ed Markey before losing the race in 2020.

According to the New York Times, both former President Joe Biden appointee Lina Kahn and former President Joe Biden appointee Lina Kahn have been nominated as potential successors to Nadler.

Longtime MP Nadler praised his former aide and state legislator Mika Rusher, but stopped supporting him.

“I really like Mika and I think I love him a lot,” Nadler said in a statement to the Times. “But decisions regarding supporting successors are on the way.”

Nadler – a leading former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee – attracted the public attention when he helped lead the perpetrator procedure against President Donald Trump in his first term in the White House.

“For over 32 years, I had the honor of serving the people of New York in the US Congress,” Nadler said. “This decision was not easy, but in my mind I know that it’s the right thing and that it’s the right time to pass the torch to a new generation.”

“Looking at Biden really said something about the need for generational change for parties. I want to respect that,” Nadler told The New York Times.
