John F. Kennedy's grandson Jack Schlossberg is running for Congress

John F. Kennedy's grandson and Democratic influencer Jack Schlossberg announced he is running for Congress, launching a campaign to replace retiring New York Rep. Jerry Nadler.

The only son of Caroline Kennedy would serve parts of New York City if elected to succeed Nadler, the influential ex-chairman of the House Judiciary Committee who currently represents New York's 12th Congressional District.

In a campaign video posted to social media on Nov. 12, Schlossberg slammed the administration and Republican leadership, saying the country is in a crisis "at every level."

"We deserve better, and we can do better. And it starts with the Democratic Party winning back control of the House of Representatives," he said. "With control of Congress, there's nothing we can't do. Without it, we're helpless to a third term."
