Jack Schlossberg broke the headlines on November 11, 2025, after he officially announced his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives in the upcoming 2026 Elections. The young political candidate is contesting New York’s 12th Congressional District, a seat currently held by the 78-year-old Democrat, Jerry Nadler, who is stepping down. In the announcement video, Schlossberg made a strong statement, saying he isn’t contesting because he has all the answers, but because the people of New York do. The 32-year-old American writer’s approach has impressed people, and he has been receiving a lot of love on X and other social media platforms.

Even before announcing his candidacy, Jack Schlossberg made headlines by endorsing former US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris during their respective campaigns. He even caught everyone’s attention when he spoke at the Democratic National Convention. Coming back to his launch speech, Schlossberg has criticised current US President, Donald Trump and even stated that another “Trump term” could trigger a serious “constitutional crisis” in the US. It’s fair to say he’s not holding back and has shown his determination to bring about change.
