Chicago, Illinois — John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, compared Kamala Harris to his late grandfather in a brief speech before the Democratic National Convention Tuesday evening.
“Tonight, JFK’s call to action is now ours to answer, because once again, the torch has been passed to a new generation, to a leader who shares my grandfather's energy, vision, and optimism for our future,” he said. “That leader is Vice President Kamala Harris.”
Back in 2020, Schlossberg spoke alongside his mom, Caroline Kennedy, at the party’s virtual convention. This year, he had a live, in-person spot in the line-up all to himself. He spoke right after former President Jimmy Carter’s grandson.
