Jack Schlossberg is running for congress and Caroline Kennedy

Question

Jack Schlossberg is the son of Caroline Kennedy, who is the daughter of JFK. Jack announced he is running for Congress in 2026. His mother is "living in fear" about him because of the recent news of political figures, how toxic and violent it has gotten. Senator Chuck Schmuner gave Jack a "seal of approval" and endorsed him for Congress.

The article mentioned that Caroline Kennedy's son is a controversial figure. He has made fun of his cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about what he is doing politically. He has also said some things about JD Vance on social media.

Answer 1

It appears to be true that Jack Schlossberg is planning to run for office, particularly "seeking to fill the congressional seat being vacated by New York Representative Jerrold Nadler, who announced in September that he would retire after more than three decades in office," according to the BBC. He is well known as a social media commentator and, as reporting by NYT notes, "has been especially critical — at times viciously so — of his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who, despite his skepticism of vaccines and of science-backed public health policies, now serves as health secretary under Mr. Trump." 

One thing to note about this claim is that, according to Politico, its true that Schlossberg was tapped by Schumer to fill one of the seats slotted for private citizens on the America 250 Commission, but I can't find anywhere Schumer has officially endorsed Schlossberg for a congressional run.
