Caroline Kennedy Distressed by Son Jack Schlossberg's Congressional Run Amidst Political Turmoil

Caroline Kennedy is deeply concerned for her son, Jack Schlossberg, after he declared his candidacy for Congress, fearing he could fall victim to the same tragic pattern that has haunted the Kennedy family, sources reveal.

This is a nightmare for her, says an insider close to the family, describing Carolines reaction to the 32-year-old Harvard-educated lawyers unexpected decision to run for New Yorks soon-to-be-open 12th District seat.

Caroline, 68, experienced profound personal loss at a young age. She was only five when her father, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas. Just five years later, her uncle, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, was killed while campaigning for the presidency at Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel on June 5, 1968.

All the trauma from her childhood is resurfacing now that Jack is entering politics, the insider adds. Shes usually very composed, but lately, shes been extremely anxious about the possibility of something terrible happening to him.

Despite her public service accomplishments, including serving as U.S. ambassador to Japan and Australia, Caroline continues to carry the pain from her familys tragic history. The grief she has kept suppressed has come back strongly since Jacks announcement, the source says. Shes urging him to reconsider.

Jack, who graduated from law school in 2022, has gained attention for his provocative social media remarks, including comparing his late grandmother Jacqueline Kennedy Onassiss appearance to that of Usha Vance, the spouse of Vice President JD Vance. He has also criticized his cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and made remarks about RFK Jr.s wife, Cheryl Hines.

Caroline fears that these statements might have already created political adversaries, the source notes. She worries that his family background, combined with controversial posts, could make him a target of violence.

With recent political attacks in the U.S., including attempts on the life of former President Donald Trump, Caroline is concerned about the resurgence of political violence. She does not want Jack to face danger and potentially become another tragedy in the family, the insider explains.
