Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of John F. Kennedy, spoke at the Democratic National Convention at the United Center in Chicago on August 20, 2024. He expressed his support for Kamala Harris and criticized Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent bid for the White House, alleging his ties to Trump.

Since RFK Jr. announced his bid, he received little support from the Kennedy clan, including his siblings. Schlossberg released videos in which he criticized RFK Jr., urging people not to be fooled by his claim of independence and advocating for voting for Biden.

Despite the earlier support for Biden, Schlossberg now supports Harris as the Democratic nominee. He spoke at the Democratic National Convention, endorsing Harris and drawing parallels between her and his grandfather’s vision and energy.

Schlossberg urged the audience to answer JFK’s call to action and claimed that the torch has been passed to a new generation, represented by Vice President Kamala Harris.
