NY-12: Schlossberg, JFK's grandson, flirts with run to succeed Nadler in New York [View all]

ack Schlossberg, the 32-year-old grandson of former President Kennedy, is reportedly considering throwing his hat in the ring to succeed retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.).

In a statement to The New York Times, the social media influencer said it was “certainly a possibility” that he would run to succeed Nadler, who first took office just weeks before Schlossberg was born.

Nadler announced this week he would not seek an 18th term in Congress. He told the Times that while he once might have considered holding the seat until his death, the 78-year-old was now ready to heed his party’s call for generational change.

“Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” Nadler told the Times in a Monday interview announcing his retirement.
