Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former president John F. Kennedy, has announced his candidacy for Congress in New York's 12th district. Despite his famous lineage, Schlossberg's campaign has been met with skepticism and criticism, both from the media and within his own family. His public persona, marked by eccentric social media activity and a lack of traditional political experience, has fueled doubts about his suitability for office. While some in the media have offered supportive coverage, others have openly questioned his qualifications and mental fitness. The race to succeed outgoing representative Jerry Nadler is expected to be competitive, with established candidates already in the running.
