"One lesson that can be drawn from the second Trump administration is that being a member of the Kennedy family does not qualify you for public service. Yet many Camelot-besotted Democrats remain stubbornly immune to this conclusion. One of them appears to be Nancy Pelosi, the normally shrewd former House speaker, who reportedly plans to endorse Jack Schlossberg, John F. Kennedy's grandson, for an open seat in New York's Twelfth Congressional District."
"As a Kennedy, Schlossberg has been a lifelong celebrity in the traditional definition of the word-a person who is famous for being famous. He's been profiled in Town & Country, on the Todayshow, in , and in . The theme of this coverage is that Schlossberg (1) is a Kennedy, (2) is handsome, and (3) posts lots of edgy content on social media."
Membership in the Kennedy family does not automatically confer qualification for public service, evidenced by contemporary political outcomes. Nancy Pelosi reportedly plans to endorse Jack Schlossberg, JFK's grandson, for New York's Twelfth Congressional District. Schlossberg is a 33-year-old social-media personality and lifelong celebrity who has attracted coverage emphasizing his lineage, looks, and edgy online posts. His most notable public role was writing campaign coverage for Vogue, a hire widely perceived as a stunt and criticized as beyond his depth. His Vogue pieces have been described as indistinguishable from work by an adequately trained high-school student.
