U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy III greets a well-wisher during ceremonies on the 100th anniversary of the birth of his great-uncle President John F. Kennedy outside the home where JFK was born in Brookline Mass
The job will put him on national television as the face of the Democratic Party and the voice of chief Trump critic at an extraordinary moment in the country's politics.
MA congressman Joseph Kennedy III will deliver the Democratic response to President Donald Trump's upcoming State of the Union address, Kennedy's staff confirmed Thursday night.
The choice thrusts the 37-year-old, three-term congressman from Brookline into the national spotlight more squarely than he has ever been before. Guzman, 44, is an immigrant from Peru who was recently elected to Virginia's House of Delegates.
He will follow in the footsteps of his great uncle, Senator Ted Kennedy, who was part of a group response to President Ronald Reagan's State of the Union in 1982.
The latest generation of the Kennedy political dynasty from MA is expected to appeal to working- and middle-class voters, who the Democrats will likely say have been abandoned by the president, despite Trump's campaign pledges.
