Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of the late President John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy Onassis, announced Tuesday night that he's running for U.S. Congress.

The 32-year-old son of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg said he's running for the New York City seat long held by U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., who in September announced he will retire.

"I’m running for Congress to represent my home, New York’s 12th congressional district, where I was born and raised, where I took the bus to school every single day from one side of the district to the other," Schlossberg said in a video announcing his candidacy.

"This is the best part of the greatest city on Earth," he said.

Schlossberg's politics fall within the family tradition of allegiance to the Democratic Party. He has developed an eccentric social media personality in which he often rails against President Donald Trump, Republicans in general and his cousin Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
