Nancy Pelosi plans to endorse Jack Schlossberg, John F. Kennedy’s grandson, for the Democratic primary in New York’s 12th Congressional District. This district, covering a central Manhattan area including Times Square and Central Park, is currently held by retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler. Pelosi, a prominent and retiring Democrat from California, has rarely intervened in primaries but is making an exception for Schlossberg, citing his potential to help Democrats win nationally. Pelosi praised Schlossberg, describing him as a leader who understands the stakes and can deliver for the people. Schlossberg, a 33-year-old social media personality and the youngest Kennedy to run for office, has gained attention for his viral videos and outspoken progressive stance. Despite limited political experience and criticism of his qualifications, his high-profile endorsement by Pelosi gives him a significant advantage in a crowded Democratic primary field that includes experienced politicians and notable figures. Critics highlight the Kennedy family's controversial history, including personal scandals and tragedies, questioning the wisdom of endorsing another Kennedy for public office. Nonetheless, Pelosi’s endorsement underscores her support for Schlossberg’s campaign, which emphasizes generational change and Democratic unity ahead of the upcoming election.
