Following the news that Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, Democrats are turning to an unexpected person to take on the Republican party in 2028: John F. Kennedy’s social media star grandson Jack Schlossberg.
Ever since it was announced that Donald, 78, was heading back to office, X, formerly Twitter, has been flooded with posts from people begging Jack, 31, to run for president in the next election.
Many have pointed out that the Vogue political correspondent will be 35 years old during the next election – the minimum age required to be president – and announced that they would vote for him if he joined the race.
One person described Jack as the country’s ‘last hope,’ while another said they were excited about the idea of living through a ‘hot Kennedy president.’
‘Can’t wait to be alive for a hot Kennedy president. I’ll finally be living my mid-century dream,’ they joked.
‘Jack Schlossberg could fix all my problems,’ another user tweeted.

‘Democrats please, we have the chance for a hot new ticket that can’t fail in 2028…’ someone else added alongside pictures of Jack and former Disney actress Bridgit Mendler.

‘The only way I will ever return to a voting booth is to cast for Pete Buttigieg or Jack Schlossberg,’ confessed a different person.
‘He has my vote,’ a fifth tweet read, while a sixth said, ‘I can 100% get on board.’
‘I truly believe American people are vapid enough that his face could sway undecided votes,’ theorized someone else.
‘We need hot people back in office,’ agreed another user.
Harvard Law School graduate Jack previously expressed his desires to follow in his famous grandfather’s footsteps and enter the world of politics to Vogue.
‘I am inspired by my family’s legacy of public service,’ he said. ‘I take that very seriously, and I want to contribute in my own way.
‘I have big dreams, but I also know that I’m trying to make a positive impact today.’

At the time, the publication revealed that it had enlisted him as its newest political correspondent.
Jack – the son of JFK and his wife, Jackie Kennedy Onassis’ only surviving child, Caroline Kennedy, and her husband, Edwin Schlossberg – attended Yale University for college, followed by Harvard Law School for his masters.
He received his J. D. and MBA from the latter and passed the Bar exam in 2022.
He has long shown an interest in politics, mingling with top officials at a young age alongside his famous mom and delivering numerous politically-driven speeches over the years.
He told Vogue that his love of politics sparked in 2007 after his uncle Senator Edward ‘Teddy’ Kennedy asked him what he thought of Barack Obama, who was running for president at the time.
‘[I told him] how much I loved him and thought he was the real deal. I know that my uncle Teddy was just humoring me in a way, but I also felt like he wanted to hear the opinion of a young person and took it seriously,’ he recalled.
‘He and my mom endorsed Obama right after he won the South Carolina primary. I felt so involved, so heard, so excited about politics, and felt that anything could happen and I could make a difference.’

He remembered feeling like he ‘wasn’t good at anything’ before that, but after he got ‘super into politics’ he had a newfound excitement in life.
‘At that time in my life, I wasn’t good at anything, really. I was pretty bad at sports, and I was a bad student,’ he continued.
‘But all of a sudden, Obama was running and all I wanted to do was watch the news every day. I got super into politics, and I felt like it was the most exciting thing I’d ever seen.’
He also recalled a time in 10th grade when his class was learning about his grandfather’s presidency and he felt ‘uncomfortable’ so he started ‘goofing off.’
He said his teacher called on him to answer a question and when he didn’t know the answer, it put a fire under his butt to go out and learn everything he could about JFK.
‘That day I went home and started reading. That’s when I started getting serious about learning about my family and got really inspired by it,’ he explained.
Jack has become a social media sensation in recent months, and has racked up over 415,000 followers on Instagram and 468,000 on TikTok.
