Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, criticized corporate financial influence in his New York congressional race during comments on Sunday. The candidate expressed concern about what he characterized as attempts to influence the election through large-scale spending.

Schlossberg, who is seeking a House seat in New York, said he is running against candidates backed by what he described as "massive billionaires" and "massive AI companies." He framed the corporate spending as an effort to "buy an election," though he did not specify the exact amounts involved or identify particular donors.

The comments reflect broader concerns about campaign finance and corporate influence in electoral politics that have become increasingly prominent in recent election cycles. Technology companies and wealthy individuals have expanded their political spending across various races nationwide.

Schlossberg's criticism comes as he seeks to distinguish himself in what appears to be a competitive primary or general election contest. The Kennedy family has a long history in Democratic politics, with his grandfather serving as the 35th President of the United States before his assassination in 1963.

Details about the specific opponents Schlossberg referenced and the scale of outside spending in the race were not immediately available. Campaign finance records would provide more concrete information about actual expenditures and donor sources in the contest.
