Camelot or Cringe?: Meet JFK's grandson turned congressional candidate for the scrolling generation

As former President John F. Kennedy's only grandson, Schlossberg is practically political royalty. But to New York City's chronically online electorate, he is better known as the star of hundreds of satirical, and often absurd, viral videos.

Between satirical renditions of Taylor Swift's "Love Story" and answering a lobster like a phone in a spoof news bit, Schlossberg has cultivated a following any aspiring influencer would envy, with close to 850,000 TikTok followers and nearly 770,000 on Instagram.

"True or false: Usha Vance is way hotter than Jackie O," Schlossberg said on X earlier this year, referencing his grandmother, former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.  

He later described his own comments as "weird" and "creepy" on former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki's podcast "The Blueprint." 

"The internet is a place where it's difficult to break through, and it's difficult to break through if you are not saying something controversial or at least somehow unexpected," Schlossberg explained. "I see that Democrats play that game not as well as we could, and I think I use my judgment to make posts that I think are funny or silly but have a purpose…"

He was also a Democratic National Committee delegate in 2024 and worked as a staff assistant at the U.S. Department of State in 2016. He is a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Law and Business Schools.

Schlossberg is the son of former U.S. Ambassador Caroline Kennedy.

The 32-year-old Kennedy heir is a frequent Trump critic. And while he often experiments with accents in his online skits, Schlossberg did not mince words about the president in his campaign launch video.

In the vertical walk-and-talk style video, Schlossberg clipped a mini microphone to his crisp, blue button-down shirt and accused Trump of turning his second term into "cronyism, not capitalism, and a constitutional crisis with one dangerous man in control of all three branches of government."

Schlossberg accused Trump of dismantling the Kennedy legacy and called RFK Jr. a "dangerous person" on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Wednesday.

While it's clear that Schlossberg rejects Trump, his campaign priorities are not so obvious.

In his campaign launch video, Schlossberg said he is running to replace the retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., because New York's 12th Congressional District "should have a representative who can harness the creativity, energy and drive" of the city and translate it into "political power and drive in Washington."

His campaign website includes a short biography and donation links, but no policy proposals, only a list of "12 promises" to the district's residents.

Fox News Digital reached out to Schlossberg for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
