Jack Schlossberg, grandson of President Kennedy, delivers speech on DNC Night 2: Watch
Jack Kennedy Schlossberg, the grandson of President John F. Kennedy and the son of Caroline Kennedy, was one of the first speakers to take the stage Tuesday at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
The theme of Tuesday evening was "A Bold Vision of America's Future."
Though Schlossberg is part of one of the most iconic political families in American history, the 31-year-old lawyer has not yet run for office. He has instead thrown his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris, while taking to social media to ridicule his cousin, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
The convention will air live on its website, from the United Center in Chicago between 6:15 p.m. and 11 p.m. Eastern (5:15 p.m. to 10 p.m Central) on Monday, and 7 p.m to 11 p.m. Eastern (6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Central) the other days.
