Ambition and Responsibility

At the age of 28, Jack Kennedy feels a strong sense of purpose following the death of his older brother, Joe, and with it comes an urgent obligation to realize his father's ambition of placing a Kennedy in the White House. He is driven by his own awareness of mortality due to serious health issues, compelling him to strive for a significant legacy. Despite being a decorated war hero and possessing a prestigious family background, he faces skepticism from constituents who view him as an outsider and a wealthy elite. As he campaigns for Congress, he recognizes the need to connect with the electorate on a personal level, underscoring his determination to earn their respect and trust to succeed in politics.
