Standing backstage at a darkened, half-filled club in Midtown Manhattan, Caroline Kennedy tried to seem cheerful on Tuesday night, even as it became apparent that her son, Jack Schlossberg, would fall far short in his bid to win a House seat.
“I think he’s done a great job,” Ms. Kennedy said of her son, praising his passion and eloquence, adding that she believed he had no regrets about his candidacy. “He just said he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he didn’t try. Because he’s so concerned about what’s going on.”
Minutes earlier, the crowd — perhaps a hundred supporters, many young and some from outside the New York City district Mr. Schlossberg had hoped to represent — sat mostly quiet as Mr. Schlossberg rushed through a brief speech, reading from a stack of papers. He joked about his age, led a chant of “Let’s go, Jack” and nodded to perhaps the most famous quote from his grandfather, John F. Kennedy.
