Caroline Kennedy Opposes Son Jack Schlossberg’s Congressional Run
Caroline Kennedy is reportedly urging her son, Jack Schlossberg, not to run for Congress due to concerns about his safety and the current political climate. Sources say she fears he could become a target of violence if he enters the race.
Caroline has pleaded with Jack not to run, but he seems determined to follow in the political footsteps of his grandfather [President John F. Kennedy] and generations of other Kennedys who have held political office.
Jack Schlossberg’s Political Ambitions
Jack Schlossberg, 32, a progressive Democrat with around 1.6 million social media followers, has gained attention for his unconventional public statements. He is expected to run for the Manhattan congressional seat soon to be vacated by Jerrold Nadler, a prominent liberal who has held the seat for more than 30 years.
- In September, Schlossberg announced the formation of an exploratory committee for a potential run.
- Recent reports indicate he has begun hiring campaign staff.
Family Concerns About the Political Environment
Jack’s decision to throw his hat in the ring has seriously frightened Caroline, who believes the political world has become too dangerous, too frightening, too crazy, and so she doesn’t want her only son ... running for elective office in the current toxic environment.
Jerrold Nadler’s Retirement
Jerrold Nadler, 78, announced in September that he would not seek reelection, stating it was time to “pass the torch to a new generation.” This creates an open seat for which Schlossberg is preparing to compete.
The Post has reached out to Caroline Kennedy for comment.
Author's summary: Caroline Kennedy is deeply concerned about her son Jack Schlossberg's congressional bid, fearing the dangers of today's political landscape despite his determination to continue the Kennedy legacy.
