Democratic congressional candidate Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of the late former President John F. Kennedy, admitted in an interview Thursday that President Donald Trump "flipped the script" on Democrats in being able to reach young voters.

"I disagree with President Trump a lot," Schlossberg told Fortune, but conceded that the president gets people "fired up" about politics.

Schlossberg is running for Congress in New York's 12th Congressional District to replace retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler. 

The Kennedy heir said Trump "poached" young men from the Democratic Party.

"I think that they’re not stupid, those young men, and I give President Trump a lot of credit for being able to influence new meeting environments and make politics accessible," he told Fortune.

Schlossberg also shared he went to Wilmington to help the Biden campaign with its social media and was repeatedly told "no."

"Anyway, long story short, I quit the campaign because I thought if I don’t do this my way, I’m not going to be able to live with myself," he said. "A month later, I got a call from the campaign being like, ‘Hey, can you come back and make videos for us?'"

Former President Joe Biden's office did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Schlossberg admitted at Fortune's CEO Initiative dinner that the GOP had embraced "modernity," according to the magazine.

"The Republican Party has embraced modernity in a way that the Democratic Party used to own," he said. "Whether it’s space, whether it’s the AI race, crypto, investing in new technologies — the Democratic Party has been way anti-everything, and anti-business in particular. Anti-modernity. Trump has flipped the script."

JFK's grandson, known for his at-times bizarre use of social media, recently defended targeting Vice President JD Vance's wife, Usha, in a post in which he superimposed his face on one of Vance's children.

"I think what's crossing a line is the propaganda that we see issued every single day by the White House and Vance," Schlossberg told CBS in an interview in early March. "So, what are we going to do, hold back? Hold back on our sense of humor and not tease them, make fun of them back?"

He added, "First of all, I don't think anyone was seriously thinking that I meant that we did actually have a love child! You can point at anything I posted. I will point you back at a president who shares pictures of himself bombing U.S. citizens with fecal matter. This is a new era we're living in."

President Donald Trump, in an all-caps post early Monday morning, declared progress toward "resolution" of the war on Iran.

"I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND THE COUNTRY OF IRAN, HAVE HAD, OVER THE LAST TWO DAYS, VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"BASED ON THE TENOR AND TONE OF THESE IN DEPTH, DETAILED, AND CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS, WHICH WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD, SUBJECT TO THE SUCCESS OF THE ONGOING MEETINGS AND DISCUSSIONS."

Trump's move followed a threat by Iran to attack Israel's power plants and those supplying U.S. bases across the Gulf region if the U.S. targets Iran's power network.

The United Arab Emirates reported its air defenses were attempting to intercept new incoming Iranian fire Monday afternoon.

Prior to Trump’s announcement, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi acknowledged talking by phone with his Turkish counterpart, Hakan Fidan. Turkey has been an intermediary before in negotiations between Tehran and Washington.

Speaking in Parliament, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday compared the challenges caused by the war to those faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and said India needs to be equally prepared this time.

Modi said the country’s power plants have adequate coal reserves and that all power supply systems are being closely monitored as summer approaches and demand rises. He said India’s fertilizer stocks remain sufficient.

"This war is not in the interest of humanity," Modi said. "India is encouraging all sides to end war peacefully."
