In New York City's crowded Democratic primary for Congress in the 12th District, Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg failed to secure the nomination amid a field that included candidates such as Micah Lasher and Alex Bores, highlighting a high-profile, expensive NYC race.
Jack Schlossberg, JFK's grandson, is in a tough Democratic primary race for New York's 12th Congressional District in Manhattan.
