Episode description
Is Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg ready to lead? We ask him.
Schlossberg seems to be trying to follow the path his grandfather John F. Kennedy took when he was elected to Congress almost eight decades ago.
And his campaign has momentum. Lots of attention, favorable press and the endorsement of Speaker of the House emeritus Nancy Pelosi.
But now after the New York Times article – he’s speaking out – a lot.
