Jack Schlossberg, the Kennedy Running for Congress in New York

Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of JFK and a self-described 'Democrat, American, and New Yorker,' is running for Congress in New York with a bold, unapologetic platform centered on holding President Trump accountable through impeachment. He argues that Trump’s $4 billion in foreign deals, cryptocurrency sales using presidential power, and stock trading ahead of foreign visits constitute impeachable bribery under the Constitution. Schlossberg rejects the idea that impeachment is futile, contrasting himself with frontrunner Michael Lasher, who downplays the effort. He calls for a complete ban on congressional stock trading—while defending Nancy Pelosi’s legal but controversial market performance. On foreign policy, Schlossberg draws a line at October 7th, 2023, calling it a turning point: he opposes sending offensive weapons to Israel after that date, though he still supports Iron Dome for civilian protection. He frames his stance as evolving with the crisis, not inconsistent. Schlossberg also endorses democratic socialist candidate Eric Adams (Mamdani), yet insists he is not a socialist—only a capitalist who believes in democracy. His campaign blends legacy, principle, and a sharp critique of elite political norms.
