Overview
- The New York Times detailed on Thursday what sources called a chaotic NY-12 campaign, citing high staff turnover, missed meetings and an early launch-day “nap.”
- Hours after the Thursday report, Jack Schlossberg posted a photo joking about napping and told CNN parts of the story were untrue, saying he runs a nimble, small operation.
- Interviews and records described at least two campaign managers, two field directors and shifting advisers in six months, and a canvassing coordinator resigned after calling the effort a “dollar-store flower bouquet.”
- A woman told reporters a hiring call with Schlossberg turned uncomfortable when he leaned into the camera and used a flirtatious tone, a claim the campaign manager said never happened.
- Schlossberg remains competitive with a narrow polling lead and a Nancy Pelosi endorsement in a safely Democratic Manhattan district where the primary result is effectively decisive.
