Democratic Party Leadership & Factions

Nancy Pelosi has endorsed John F. Kennedy’s grandson Jack Schlossberg in the Democratic primary for New York’s 12th Congressional District, praising his ability to "navigate the digital and the classical political worlds" and to "hold President Trump accountable." Schlossberg called Pelosi a "national hero and master legislator," said he briefed her on his campaign and policy plans and that she believes he can win. He is running against Democratic state Assemblymembers Micah Lasher and Alex Bores, and independent conservative George Conway.
