Jack Schlossberg opened up for the first time about his sister Tatiana’s last words before her death late last year. “The last thing that she said to me was, ‘You better win,’” the Kennedy scion said in an interview for CBS Sunday Mornings, referencing his run for Congress. The environmental journalist Tatiana Schlossberg was diagnosed with terminal acute myeloid leukemia immediately after giving birth to her second child in May 2024. She died at age 35 in December. “No one knew me better, and I knew no one better than her,” Schlossberg said about his late sister, adding he “knows she’s still rooting for” his political career. Jack, 33, is campaigning for New York’s 12th District, which represents the wealthy areas of Upper West and Upper East Sides of Manhattan, in what’s set to be a crowded Democratic primary. Eight people, including prominent names such as Trump critic George Conway, 62, are running for longtime congressman Jerry Nadler’s seat. Jack has previously amassed nearly a million followers on social media and was a political correspondent for Variety.
