Caroline Kennedy lost her Ambassador post in Japan when Trump took office. He sent her packing and hasnt even bothered to name a replacement.
But according to the New York Post, shes not done with public service. Kennedy is planning to run for the U.S. senate in 2018.
First, shes going to be penning a memoir, but then shell be getting down to work. She plans to follow in the footsteps of her uncle Robert Kennedy, and run for a New York senate seat.
She plans to target the seat of Democratic Senator Kristen Gillibrand. Or she could run for Rep. Kristen Gillibrands House seat instead.
This is great news for progressives. Caroline Kennedy has the Kennedy name and recognition, but none of the baggage.
.....
Kennedy has a net worth...Kennedy trust funds.
She has much of the popularity of Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton among Progressives, but no baggage. So securing campaign donations wont be a problem.
But her aspirations dont end there. According to an unnamed source, Caroline had a successful ambassadorial run in Japan and feels really very confident about putting her hat in the ring for a New York congressional or Senate seat, with even possibly bigger political objectives down the road
Down the road could include a run for president in 2020. She would be a strong candidate to run against the Republicans.

"I want to choose a senator not from the glitzy coke parties of Manhattan but rather from the shabbier coke circles of upstate new york," he said. "I'm tired of all these fancy, two-eyed smart alecs from the big city running the whole show.""Whoever is appointed senator must - like me - be caught totally off guard and be comically unprepared to take office," he said."
