Jack Schlossberg Launches Bid for Congress as He Works to Minimize RFK Jr.'s Impact on Kennedy Family Legacy
Schlossberg's journey into the political discourse ramped up after his controversial relative Robert F. Kennedy Jr. launched a long shot presidential bid in 2023, even though the Kennedys had overwhelmingly rallied behind Democratic incumbent Joe Biden.

At the time, Schlossberg accused RFK Jr. — an anti-vaccine activist and political outlier in the family — of cashing in on the Kennedy name for personal gain without advancing the work that his uncles and father, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, began.
"President John F. Kennedy is my grandfather and his legacy is important," Schlossberg said. "It’s about a lot more than Camelot and conspiracy theories. It’s about public service and courage. It’s about civil rights, the Cuban missile crisis, and landing a man on the moon.”
Schlossberg continued: "If my cousin, Bobby Kennedy Jr., cared about any of them, he would support Joe Biden, too."
