Jack Kennedy Schlossberg turned out to be no Jack Kennedy.
The grandson of the famed president lost his maiden run for public office Tuesday, falling in the Democratic primary in New York City's 12th Congressional district, which encompasses the wealth and glamour of midtown Manhattan.
But Schlossberg's fame, status and cover boy good looks did not translate into votes.
Micah Lasher was the top place finisher, ahead of Alex Bores. The two, both state lawmakers, got over 30 percent of the vote each. Schlossberg finished a distant third, with less than 11 percent of voters supporting him.
Lasher worked for both former mayor Michael Bloomberg as well as outgoing Congressman Jerry Nadler, who both endorsed him in the contest.
Schlossberg, a 33-year-old political nepo-baby with over 800 thousand followers on Instagram and TikTok attempted to leverage his social media prowess into political muscle.
But it turns out New Yorkers favored traditional experience over celebrity virality.
At his watch party at the Cutting Room, Schlossberg quoted the most famous Kennedy, noting, 'All of us ask not what our country can do,' but added his own spin, closing out with, 'but what we can do to help our city.'

Pretty boy steals JFK quote after getting butt kicked.
Should have changed his last name to “Kennedy.”
Kennedy or socialist?
RFK Jr. only Kennedy standing and disowned by Kennedy family twirps
joe not around to stuff the box
The Bush and Kennedy dynasties are over, my heart bleeds. /s
Hunky and cover boy good looks...give me a break! He’s hideous.
1) He’s not that good looking.
2) The dynasty is down but not out. Trump is keeping their name in the news.
3) I still think JFK Jr. was bumped off as he was going to come out of the closet as a republican.
Even better, George Conway got crumbs for votes at the bottom.
USA voters are doe with dynasties.
Kennedy, Clinton, Obama, Bush, Cheney and Trump
The Democratic Party of JFK are no longer that party. That party is now the party of radical Islam and Communists. All the little 1960s liberal, radicals, who hate America and now seek to overthrow it. The homos, Islamics, communists, liberals, socialists, idiots with no brains, who hate America, have combined into one new party, the Democratic-Socialists. That is a catchism for Muslim-Communist or the Red-Green alliance. To overthrow America. See what they have done to NYC since 2001 until today. How long until all the large cities are like NYC? Then the spread starts to all large cities in America, in all states. When does America wake up to what is coming if . . . .
Likewise thrilled that Kellyanne’s EX was humiliated with 6%
Hunky??? My God, these Kennedy worshipers are blind.
I must’ve missed the Trump Dynasty. When was that?
Kennedy, Kennedy, Kennedy, that's all folks!
