My Take
What interests me about Joseph P. Kennedy II is the sheer weight of the name he carries. As the eldest son of Robert F. Kennedy and a nephew of JFK, he was born into the most scrutinized family in American politics, and his brother now serves as Health and Human Services Secretary. Building a path as both a politician and a businessman, educated at UMass Boston rather than the usual Ivy pedigree, suggests someone trying to define himself on his own terms. I respect the quiet resilience it takes to serve a public role while never escaping the long shadow of a dynasty.
