Biden passed the largest investment in infrastructure since the New Deal and the largest investment in green energy ever.
He’s appointed more federal judges than any president since my grandfather. He ended our longest war. He ended the Covid pandemic, and he ended Donald Trump.
These are the issues that matter," Jack Schlossberg said, adding, "And if my cousin, Bobby Kennedy Jr., cared about any of them, he would support Joe Biden too." He continued, “Instead, he’s trading in on Camelot, celebrity conspiracy theories and conflict for personal gain and fame.
I’ve listened to him. I know him. I have no idea why anyone thinks he should be president.
What I do know is his candidacy is an embarrassment. Let’s not be distracted again by somebody’s vanity project. I’m excited to vote for Joe Biden in my state’s primary, and again in the general election.
And I hope you will too.” Jack Schlossberg joined Vogue as a political correspondent In July, Vogue announced that Jack Schlossberg would be joining their team for upcoming election coverage as the publication's political correspondent.

” Jack Schlossberg is known online for his uniquely witty delivery, bringing some levity to the political world. He told Vogue his "only strategy" to covering the hard news: “If you’re going to ask people to think about something serious, you need to make it entertaining or fun,” he said. “That’s what all the great leaders do.
You can’t just hammer people with how bad stuff is. You’ve got to bring some positivity and good energy to the things you think are important.” Jack Schlossberg attended the DNC As part of New York City Democrats, Jack Schlossberg attended the 2024 Democratic National Convention, which is being held in Chicago, Illinois from Aug.
