For much of the last century, there's been at least one Kennedy in Congress. But Schlossberg's loss makes him the rule, not the exception, among his broader brood. My reflections on the NY-12 primary and the Catch-22 of Kennedydom: www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

What Jack Schlossberg’s Loss Says About the Kennedy Dynasty
The 33-year-old’s congressional run was buoyed by pop culture, and perhaps bruised by it, too.

Ya know, I don't think this is a little point. In this mis and dis-informed era, VIBE and emotion shape perceptions, clicks, shares... Yes, for many of us, MAGA always deeply deeply uncool & cringe-y. But I sense that feeling is becoming more universal. Is MAGA in its cringe era? wapo.st/3No31Mo

Does Chris Murphy deserve our attention? He certainly wants it. A scholar of Democrats’ failures, Murphy embodies his party’s quest to rebuild its brand. The question is whether an insider like him is up to the task. Six months with @chrismurphyct: www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Chris Murphy needs blue America to wake up
The Connecticut senator once looked like the future of Democratic politics. These days, he worries whether democracy has a future.

After 14 campaigns—12 for Joe, two for Beau—Jill Biden's 50 years in public life is ending. She's at peace with it, if “disappointed with how it unfolded,” she says. And endings, of course, aren't the whole story. My exit interview with the first lady: www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Sheeny, shiny, glossy Jack Schlossberg. @karavoght.bsky.social spent months talking to him and thinking about what to make of him. The result is this great piece capturing him in print amber like few others could. www.washingtonpost.com/style/2024/1...

Analysis | We don’t know Jack
Jack Schlossberg, John F. Kennedy’s grandson, made himself a progressive social media star this year, even as Donald Trump drafted Robert F. Kennedy Jr. into the MAGA movement.

Usha Vance: an ex-Democrat who taught JD the ways of the elite and helped propel him into political prominence — but who doesn't say much about herself. From @karavoght.bsky.social and I: www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...
washingtonpost.com
Usha Vance is a ‘powerful’ voice in JD’s ear. What will she say?
Usha Vance, incoming Second Lady, once guided JD into high society at Yale, where they first met. Now, just over a decade later, he will become vice president.
