Jack Schlossberg Faces Tough Primary Challenge in Manhattan

Jack Schlossberg, grandson of President John F. Kennedy, is running for Congress in Manhattan's 12th District amid mixed support and criticism.
Schlossberg's campaign emphasizes connecting with voters disillusioned by politics, but he faces skepticism about his experience and qualifications.
Retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler has endorsed rival Micah Lasher, complicating Schlossberg's bid, which is seen as relying heavily on his family name.
Schlossberg's evolving stance on Israel funding has drawn attention, as he seeks to position himself as a bridge between generations within the party.
