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.<\/p>\n

The endorsement has been in the works for weeks, a person familiar said, but has not yet been announced publicly.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old Schlossberg<\/a>, the son of Caroline Kennedy and first cousin of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., announced his campaign in November.<\/p>\n

The online political commentator joined a highly competitive field of Democratic candidates fighting to replace retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler<\/a>. The field includes state Assemblymen Alex Bores and Micah Lasher, as well as attorney George Conway and journalist Jami Floyd.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

If he wins, Schlossberg would be at least the seventh member of the extended Kennedy family to serve in Congress.<\/p>\n

New York’s 12th Congressional District is a wealthy, Democratic-leaning area, made up of Manhattan’s Midtown, Upper East Side, and Upper West Side.<\/p>\n

The New York Times was first to report the news of Pelosi’s planned endorsement.<\/p>\n
