Jack Schlossberg as Uncle JFK Jr. at the Democratic National Convention

The unexpected star of the Democratic National Convention was President John F. Kennedy's only grandson, Jack Schlossberg, as the 27-year-old and his mother, Caroline Kennedy, appeared at the virtual event via remote video, cheering on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and recalling President Kennedy's own nomination acceptance 60 He recalled President Kennedy's own acceptance of the nomination 60 years ago.

"It was a call to the young at heart, regardless of age or party affiliation," Schlossberg said of JFK's acceptance speech. Schlossberg said of JFK's acceptance speech, "Times have changed, but the themes of my grandfather's speech - courage, unity, and patriotism - are just as important today as they were in 1960. And once again, we need a leader who believes that America's best days are yet to come. We need Joe Biden."

He also quoted his grandfather's words, "ask not what your country can do for you."

"In this election, our future is on the ballot. For my generation, this election will define the rest of our lives." We need to tackle climate change. We need to put an end to systemic racial injustice. We need to ensure that all people have access to health care. And we need to rebuild an economy that helps working families. We can do this. Only with a president who asks what we can do in our country can we reach new frontiers."

Twitter viewers understandably found a new political fervor in Schlossberg, even noting his striking resemblance to his uncle, the late John F. Kennedy Jr. who died in 1999 (opens in new tab). While the physical similarities between the two men are not necessarily breaking news (opens in new tab), there are similarities in their careers as well.

Kennedy, whose nickname is John John, became a lawyer, journalist, and publisher (opens in new tab) rather than heading to Washington like the rest of his family. He never strayed far from politics, however, as he founded the political magazine George. Schlossberg, a graduate of Yale and Harvard, also followed in his uncle's footsteps into the media, contributing to The Washington Post (opens in new tab) and TIME (opens in new tab), according to Esquire (opens in new tab). However, he spent time on Capitol Hill as a former Senatorial page and intern for John Kerry.

Overlapping careers aside, Twitter noted how much Schlossberg resembled his late uncle. Read some of the best reactions below.
