Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to endorse Jack Schlossberg, John F. Kennedy's grandson, in the Democratic primary race for New York's 12th Congressional District, a source familiar confirmed to CBS News Saturday.
The endorsement has been in the works for weeks, a person familiar said, but has not yet been announced publicly.
The 33-year-old Schlossberg, the son of Caroline Kennedy and first cousin of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., announced his campaign in November.
The online political commentator joined a highly competitive field of Democratic candidates fighting to replace retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler. The field includes state Assemblymen Alex Bores and Micah Lasher, as well as attorney George Conway and journalist Jami Floyd.
Schlossberg campaigned with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election cycle in an effort to help them connect with young voters, and is running a progressive campaign with an emphasis on social media.
