JFK grandson Schlossberg says billionaires, ‘massive AI companies’ spending millions in New York House race
Quick Insights
AI Summary
Jack Schlossberg, JFK's grandson and a New York House candidate, publicly denounced the influx of billionaire and tech-industry funding in his race, calling it an attempt to "buy an election." Schlossberg is competing in a crowded House race where wealthy donors and major AI companies are backing his opponents. His complaint reflects broader concerns about the influence of big money in congressional elections and the outsized role of tech-industry capital in recent political campaigns. Schlossberg's candidacy itself represents a high-profile entry into a competitive New York seat, bringing Kennedy family name recognition to a race increasingly defined by outside spending.
