JFK's and Jimmy Carter's grandsons say Harris continues the former presidents' legacies
(LA Times) The scions of two Democratic presidents on Tuesday cast Vice President Kamala Harris as the natural White House candidate to carry on the legacies of John F. Kennedy and Jimmy Carter.
Jack Schlossberg, Kennedy’s grandson and a close relative of potential 2024 spoiler candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., told thousands of delegates gathering for their party’s national convention that his assassinated grandfather is his “hero.”
“JFK was the youngest person ever elected president and the first Catholic. He sent a man to the moon, fought for civil rights and navigated the Cuban missile crisis peacefully,” said Schlossberg, who is the youngest child of Caroline Kennedy, President Biden’s ambassador to Australia. “Most of all, he inspired a new generation to ask what they could do for our country.”
Now, he said, Americans must once again answer this call to action. “The torch has been passed to a new generation, to a leader who shares my grandfather's energy, vision and optimism for our future,” said Schlossberg, 31. “That leader is Vice President Kamala Harris."
