Jack Schlossberg, a popular social media influencer and the grandson of late President John F. Kennedy, told The New York Times this week that he may enter the race to succeed retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., next year.
Nadler, 78, announced earlier this week that he would not seek reelection in 2026, saying, “For more than 32 years, I have had the honor of serving the people of New York in the United States Congress. This decision has not been easy. But I know in my heart it is the right one and that it is the right time to pass the torch to a new generation.”
His announcement sparked a flurry of speculation as to who would run to replace the legislator, whose district covers much of Manhattan.
