@dailymail: Jack Schlossberg, JFK's only living grandson, is hoping to turn his 1.5 million social media followers into votes as New Yorkers head to the polls. Despite his famous last name and viral online presence, recent polling suggests he's trailing rivals Michael Blake and Alex Bores in the race to replace longtime Congressman Jerry Nadler. Politically, Schlossberg is far closer to the traditional Kennedy brand than his uncle, RFK Jr. He's a mainstream liberal Democrat who supports abortion rights, gun reform, climate action and vaccines - and he's repeatedly criticized RFK Jr.'s positions and alliance with Donald Trump. But this race is about more than one congressional seat. It's also a test of whether social media influence can translate into political power, and what kind of candidate Democratic voters want next. Can a Kennedy influencer win at the ballot box? Daily Mail’s @Jon Michael reports. #JackSchlossberg #JFK #Kennedy #NYC #Democrats
