The grandson of former President Kennedy will address the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night.
John Bouvier Kennedy “Jack” Schlossberg, the 31-year-old son of U.S. Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy, has become increasingly involved with the Democratic Party in recent years.
While he has reportedly stated he does not intend to run for political office any time soon, Schlossberg has amassed a large following on social media, where he posts discussions about politics and comedic sketches.
“As I’ve grown up, I’ve become more involved in the official obligations that come with being part of my family. I’ve met a lot of politicians and become all the more optimistic about our future by doing that work,” he told Vogue earlier this year.
Schlossberg, the youngest of Kennedy’s three children, graduated from Yale University in 2015 with a history degree and went on to attend Harvard’s law and business schools, where he received his JD and MBA.
Following in the footsteps of some of his relatives, including his mother, Schlossberg said he passed the New York State Bar Exam last year.
In his latest gig, he became a political correspondent for Vogue this summer, covering the 2024 election.
Schlossberg also made headlines last year for his public criticism of his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential run, and subsequent endorsement of President Biden’s reelection bid. Since Biden’s withdrawal from the race, he has endorsed Vice President Harris, Business Insider reported.
While it remains unclear what he will discuss during his slot at the convention, the theme of Day 2 is “A Bold Vision for America’s Future,” according to convention organizers.
His remarks are expected to take place between 5:30 and 6 p.m. CDT, organizers said, though exact timing depends on previous speakers.
