Can Kennedy lineage and hype over 'Love Story' help send JFK's grandson to Congress?

As a Kennedy scion, Jack Schlossberg had a lot of hype behind him when he launched his congressional campaign in New York City late last year. He was already a big social media star, in part through his relentless attacks on his cousin, Trump administration heath secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. And he's been bouncing around the national Democratic scene a bit. Now, among a crowded field hoping to take over a prized House seat in Manhattan, Schlossberg appears to have another advantage no other candidate could dream for: a hit TV show about his family that’s renewed Kennedy clan fervor and could boost his campaign even further.
