"Caroline Kennedy, however, has reportedly pleaded with Jack not to run, sources close to the family told the New York Post, warning that the political climate is a toxic environment that has grown too dangerous, too frightening, too crazy. Another concern weighing heavily on Caroline, according to one insider, is the resurgence of antisemitism in the U.S. Her husband, Edwin Schlossberg, is Jewish, and friends say she fears her son could be targeted for that reason as well."
"Jack's decision to throw his hat in the ring has seriously frightened Caroline, one source told the outlet. In an interview on Tuesday, Schlossberg told The New York Times that he believes the Democratic Party needs more voices to push back on perceived abuses of power by President Trump and his allies. Shortly after launching his campaign, Schlossberg posted a series of videos and donation links on social media, urging supporters to contribute so we can win."
Caroline Kennedy fears that her son Jack Schlossberg could become a target of violence as he moves forward with plans to run for Congress. Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of President John F. Kennedy, is a Harvard-educated lawyer with roughly 1.6 million social media followers and outspoken political commentary, including public disputes with relatives. He is preparing a bid for the Manhattan seat being vacated by Rep. Jerrold Nadler. Caroline has pleaded with him not to run and is additionally worried about a resurgence of antisemitism because her husband Edwin Schlossberg is Jewish. Schlossberg says Democrats need more voices to push back on perceived abuses by President Trump and allies and has launched a campaign urging donations and new leadership.
