Pelosi Planning to Endorse JFK Grandson Jack Schlossberg in NY House Race

Pelosi, who is expected to make the endorsement official on Sunday, told The New York Times that this is “a consequential moment for the country — faith in our politics is fractured and trust in government is tenuous.” She stated, “This moment calls for leaders who understand the stakes and how to deliver for the people they serve,” and described Schlossberg’s candidacy as one that “will help Democrats win nationwide.”

Pelosi’s endorsement of Schlossberg continues a personal and political history with the Kennedy family. Her father chaired John F. Kennedy’s 1960 campaign in Maryland, and Pelosi previously backed Joseph P. Kennedy III in his unsuccessful 2020 primary challenge against Sen. Ed Markey in Massachusetts. She has also expressed confidence in Democrats’ prospects this cycle, predicting the party will retake the House and install Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker.

Schlossberg entered the race in November 2025, declaring: “This is our last chance to stop Trump — it won’t come again. History is calling.
