Nancy Pelosi is expected to endorse Jack Schlossberg in the crowded Democratic primary for New York’s 12th congressional district. The endorsement would give Schlossberg high-profile support as he seeks to succeed retiring Representative Jerry Nadler.
Pelosi is expected to publicly endorse Schlossberg, a grandson of John F. Kennedy, in the race to represent New York’s 12th congressional district.
